Briefly

"Hudson River Park Trust representatives, elected officials, and community members celebrated the transformation of a former gritty pier in Hell's Kitchen into a spectacular park and recreational space with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 15. Pier 97 is the latest pier converted into a haven for relaxation and recreation along the Hudson. "
"Designed by !Melk, this 2.5-acre public park features a walking promenade, state-of-the-art playground, synthetic athletic turf field, and a sloping sun lawn that invites visitors to unwind by the water. The sunset deck offers picturesque views, while the overlook provides elevated city sights along with a unique granite slide that the entire family can enjoy."
"The revival of this formerly dilapidated pier has taken years, transforming it from a dock for the Swedish America Line and a parking lot into a vibrant community space with flowers, plants, and plenty of opportunities for leisure activities. The new park building will offer essential amenities while enhancing the overall experience for visitors along the Hudson River."
