The Hudson River Park Trust has announced the opening of the Pier 26 Science Playground, a 4,000-square-foot recreational space along the Hudson River Greenway in Tribeca, Manhattan. Designed by OLIN, the playground aims to foster marine science learning and connect New Yorkers with the wildlife of the Hudson River. The facility is located at the end of North Moore Street alongside the future Hudson River Estuarium.
Work is nearing completion on Gansevoort Peninsula Park, a new 5.5-acre public recreational green space along the Hudson River waterfront off the West Village. Designed by James Corner Field Operations and commissioned by the Hudson River Park Trust, the park will contain a full-size soccer field surrounded by lush landscaping and shrubbery, numerous pathways, stepped seating, a children’s playground, kayak slips, a salt marsh, a dog run, viewing platforms, and Manhattan’s first public sandy beach. The site is located next to Pier 53, directly across from the Whitney Museum of American Art along Hudson River Park.
Pier 57, a former New York City Transit Authority bus depot on the South Chelsea waterfront, has won New York State’s Historic Preservation Award recognizing significant efforts to transform the site into a vibrant public destination. The redevelopment project was completed in collaboration by RXR, Young Woo & Associates, and The Baupost Group.
A new recreational space in Hudson River Park will include play elements inspired by marine science to teach children about the local ecology. The 4,000-square-foot space on Pier 26 at North Moore Street is being developed by the Hudson River Park Trust, who broke ground on the space yesterday. Designed by OLIN, the interactive sculptural elements are inspired by wildlife and the Hudson River habitat and will also serve as an outdoor extension of the environmental programming planned for the future Hudson River Estuarium.
