Little Island - Free Audio Guide

Little Island is an innovative public park on the Hudson River in Manhattan, opened in 2021 and developed through private philanthropy and public partnership. Designed as a planted, undulating island supported by sculpted concrete “pots,” it combines landscaped hills, winding pathways, viewpoints, and a small outdoor amphitheater for performances, contributing to the city’s cultural life. The site is notable for its contemporary design, ecological planting, and panoramic views of the river and skyline, attracting artists and community programming. Access is generally available to the public with seasonal arrangements for programming; general entry is free while certain performances and special events may require tickets or fees. The project emphasizes accessibility and includes designed pathways and facilities to accommodate visitors with mobility needs, alongside efforts to support biodiversity and urban green space.
