Noreen Doyle, president and CEO of the Hudson River Park Trust, expressed that this pier is what the Hell's Kitchen community has really been craving for a long time, emphasizing its role in connecting the park with the Upper West Side.
The $47.5 million investment spans 2.5 acres and features a range of amenities including walking promenades, an athletic field, a granite slide, and a vast array of flowers and plants that enhance its appeal.
With an adjacent building expected to open soon, providing restrooms and concession areas, this completion of Pier 97 is set to bolster the local infrastructure and act as a community hub.
After years of neglect and several delays, including pandemic-related ones, Pier 97's opening is a significant milestone in the Hudson River Park's 30-year renovation plan of the area.
