According to Hudson River Park Trust planning documents, Manhattan's new $70 million Gansevoort Peninsula Park will include a "sandy beach area with kayak access on the south side, a lawn and seating area north of the beach, a large sports field, a salt marsh with habitat enhancements on the north side, a dog run and on its western side, picnic tables and lounge chairs."
"As Hudson River Park moves closer to completion, we are excited to be in position to start construction on one of our signature projects this coming spring," said Hudson River Park Trust President & CEO, Madelyn Wils.
Last fall, Pier 26 opened as Hudson River Park's first new public pier in a decade.
The James Corner Field Operations-designed Gansevoort Peninsula project is scheduled to open in spring 2023.
