The Little Island

#usatravel #newyork During our visit to New York, we discovered a really cool new attraction called Little Island, a unique and innovative public park located on the Hudson River in New York City. The park was designed by British architect Thomas Heatherwick of Heatherwick Studio, with landscape architecture by Signe Nielsen of MNLA. The design includes 132 tulip-shaped concrete "pots" that support the landscape, giving the appearance of a floating island. When we saw it for the first time, we were surprised by the incredible beauty of the design. Little Island features a variety of gardens with over 350 species of flowers, trees, and shrubs, providing a lush and colorful environment. We explored for hours without getting bored. The park also hosts a variety of cultural events, including concerts, dance performances, theater productions, and art installations, often free to the public. We were lucky enough to see a cool performance during our visit. Entry to Little Island is free, but some events and performances may required tickets. So, please make sure to check their website for details before you're visiting. Overall, our experience was awesome, and this park has undoubtedly become our new favorite.
