The floating park is called "Little Island." It will be opened in the spring of 2021, and New Yorkers will be able to leave the bustling metropolis to relax and gain strength.

“The floating park on the Hudson River, off the Chelsea coastline, will soon become a 0,8 hectare island oasis called Little Island. Ed.), ”The publication notes.

Its landscape looks simply fantastic: hills, walking paths and lawns for outdoor activities, as well as 100 types of trees and shrubs.

In addition to the attractive nature on the Little Island, there will be an amphitheater with 700 seats for year-round performances.

Billionaire Barry Diller, who finances the project, has promised that 51% of the tickets to the show will be either free to the public, or will cost less than $ 30. So New Yorkers may have affordable or even free entertainment, the author notes.

About Little Island

To create a floating park, designer Thomas Heatherwick used 132 concrete columns that towered above the water and created the unique structure of Little Island.

“I am glad to see how an island grows on the Hudson River. “I can’t wait for the New Yorkers and their guests to cross the bridge, leaving the bustling city,” Diller said in a statement. And he added that here they can play, lie on the grass and recharge the island’s energy.
