About Little Island

Little Island is an award-winning public park where visitors explore a curated landscape, enjoy performances and art installations, and relax with food and beverages. The park's design features native plants selected to create habitat for pollinators and bird species, with colors and textures that evolve through the seasons—winterberry and rugosa roses in winter, witch hazel and hellebore in early spring, and shifting grasses and perennials throughout the year. Visitors can take audio tours with award-winning narrators, learn the pier's transformation from a damaged port structure to a vibrant public space, or simply experience nature and stunning river views. The park has a playground for activities and offers drinks and snacks from locally made, high-quality makers. Little Island is located in New York, New York, between 13th and 14th Street, and welcomes visitors daily. General admission is free.
