Little Island, located in Hudson River Park at Pier 55 in Manhattan, New York City, is a unique public park built on concrete pilings resembling tulip-shaped structures rising from the water. Originally conceived by Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller, its construction faced significant challenges and delays before opening to the public in May 2021. The park features undulating pathways, performance spaces, and diverse plant life designed to create an immersive natural environment within an urban setting.
