Discover A Man-Made Oasis In The Middle Of The Hudson River At Little Island In New York

Nowadays, it sometimes feels like everything's been done before. Finding an attraction or restaurant that feels truly unique and unlike anywhere you've ever been can be difficult. If you're looking for a park that's different than anywhere else in the world, we've got the perfect spot for you. A floating island park in New York sounds pretty neat, doesn't it? That's what you'll find at Little Island NYC, a man-made oasis in the Hudson River that's unlike any other park in the Big Apple. It's small, but it's an architectural feat of engineering that's absolutely fascinating, and it offers plenty of family fun opportunities.

We can't get over how cool this place is! The artificial island is just outside Manhattan's Meatpacking District and Chelsea neighborhoods.

It was built atop the wooden piles that once served as Pier 54, so the park's official name is Little Island at Pier 55.

The island is supported by 132 "tulip pot" structures that protect the park from even the most extreme of floods.

On the island, you'll find a variety of plant species and colorful gardens.

Different zones are spread throughout the park, with 100 species of trees and shrubs on the island's 2.4 acres.

There's a 687-seat arena, which mostly hosts free shows. The calendar of events is updated regularly and includes music, dance, and plays.

The park has no entrance fee and can hold up to 1,000 people at a time.

It's also completely wheelchair-accessible, so everyone is able to enjoy this man-made oasis.

Little Island is such a neat concept and a truly unique New York park!
