New York has a new park richer. And what a! Designer Thomas Heatherwick invented an island-shaped park on stilts in the Hudson.
Little Island Park is the very appropriate name for this new hot spot in the city. The park / island is almost 10,000 square meters in size and is built on a unique structure consisting of 132 posts that stand at the bottom of the river. Little Island Park is therefore not an ordinary island, but one that seems to float above the water.
Amphitheater
The park is connected to the mainland by two bridges at the southern terminus of The High Line in Chelsea on the west side of Manhattan. On the island you will find about 540 meters of hiking trails as well as a number of viewpoints and an amphitheater overlooking the water.
Because not all columns are the same height, it is the landscape architects of MNLA landscaped park playful and adventurous. The designers created a park with a diverse appearance with 100 different types of trees and 400 types of plants. The poles under the island not only provide a striking appearance, but also provide a unique habitat for underwater life.
