Little Island at Pier Along
the Hudson River Is Now
Open!
After much anticipation,
Little Island is now open to
the public to roam and explore
with the family. Come stop by
and see just how design and
nature come together to promote
play and creativity.
Little Island is built right
on top of the water along the
Hudson River, with grassy
slopes for kids to roll down
on, overlook areas to take in
views of the water and NYC,
and entertainment areas that
will invite a multitude of family
friendly performers.
Looking for more fun this
summer? Here are 8 Things to
Do at Coney Island With Family
This Summer!
THE GLADE
During the summer, make
sure to head over to The Glade
where there will be weekly
workshops from neighboring
museums that encourage
creative play. Kids will also
love tapping into nature by
sketching what they see and
hear around the island such
as the wide variety of fl owers
throughout the park.
THE AMPHITHEATER
Located towards the back
of Little Island you will fi nd
a beautifully made amphitheater
that overlooks the water.
There will be ongoing performances
throughout the summer
from local New York artists
for you and the kids to
enjoy. And when there are
no performances, this also
New York City’s Little Island. File photo
makes a great place to eat a
lunch outdoors and be close to
the water.
