Little Park

Cute island that acts as an oasis in a metropolis like New york City. It is located near the end of the Highline Park trail, so it is a nice place to come visit after a relaxing walk on the trail. Lovely design looks like many tiny islands as the foundation, yet none of those is shown as you are on the island itself. Great trails for walking and able to view the cities as well as the Pier, depending on your location. When you are done roaming around, there is another end to exit the island, not needing to repeat the path.

Lovely little park for a walk. Probably better in the summer. I was there early so not many people. Nice views of the city. Good for wheelchairs. They have a small stage area. You can do a self guided tour by scanning a QR code. Area with chairs and tables to enjoy lunch. Overall nice place to visit.

Little Island is a lovely spot to go for a “little” stroll. They have trails you can follow with little fun things to do or find on certain corners, like those spinning arts, music tiles and a couple more. If there are no events, there isnt really much to do here other that walk around, chill and enjoy the view. We loved our fall visit as the weather was fine and of course we get to enjoy the colours of this “garden”. I actually like that it was just a simple, no-pressure and stress-free visit. Plus in just an hour or so, youve pretty much have explored the whole area. Great addition to NYC for sure.

Beautiful little island right next to Pier 57. It is a completely man made island, by a billionaire, of course. It has a number of amphitheatres on this island for shows, etc. there are nice paths and climbing rocks, not super dangerous, for the average Joe. Overall, a nice place to visit, take in the scenery, awesome skylines of both NYC and NJ, or just hang out with friends, or by yourself.

I stumbled upon this wonderful spot while researching free things to do in the city. It's conveniently located near the Highline, making it a perfect addition to your visit. It’s an oasis of calm amidst the bustling energy of New York. The moment you step onto the place, you're transported to a serene natural environment. It's an ideal escape from the city's hectic pace. This charming place has something for everyone. There's a small park for kids to enjoy, and you'll find a few places to grab a bite or a drink. But what I loved most was the opportunity to simply sit by the river and savor the tranquility. The view of Manhattan is absolutely breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of the city's iconic skyline. The best part is that it's free to visit, making it accessible to all. Whether you have 30 minutes or an hour to spare, I highly recommend including this place in your itinerary. It's a fantastic way to enjoy astonishing views and experience a different side of New York City. Don't miss out on this hidden treasure!

Little Island is a must go for New Yorkers and tourists, every time I see it prior to going in, just watching them above water is mesmerizing. It shows how great we human can be to create and build. There are also exotic trees and flowers on this concrete jungle. Highly recommend to spend some time there to see the plants and the view there is amazing.

What a sight to take in from the land and then to walk out on!? Little Island ended up being a pleasant surprise for us after walking on the Highline. It's truly an architectural delight and quite pleasing to visit. We went on a Sunday when the weather was agreeable. The plantings and design are lovely, and there's some kiosks for food and drinks. It's a great place to post up at and take in the salty air. Do put it on your list!

Really nice spot to escape the busy city! There is a lot of green and it offers an amazing view on the downtown skyline. The architecture of this place is quite unique and I thinks it’s a must see spot in Manhattan. Also the entry is free and Chelsea market is quite close if you want to bring your own snacks or beverages- but it also offers a little kiosk

Impressive park built entirely on water, using strange but beautiful pillars. I recommend touring it with a coffee and sitting on one of the benches with a beautiful view. There is a plaque commemorating the remarkable architect who designed it. As if that were not enough, it includes a small auditorium.

It is a beautiful place to enjoy some music and great views in a peaceful atmosphere. Peace and quiet with some greenery isn't that easy to find in the city. There's a place to buy food and alcohol. You can bring your own picnic basket and have picnic on the grass. There is a public restroom in the park. The views are simply breathtaking.
