Little Island, located in Hudson River Park at Pier 55 in Manhattan, is a unique public park constructed on tulip-shaped concrete piles rising from the Hudson River. The project was initially conceived by Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg, with design led by Thomas Heatherwick Studio. Construction faced significant delays and controversies regarding its funding and environmental impact before opening to the public in May 2021. The park features undulating pathways, performance spaces, and diverse plant life intended to create an immersive natural environment within an urban setting.
