Project Details

Location: New York, NY

The 172-acre park was developed in phases: first a 30-acre parcel including Hammock Grove—an array of hammocks for lounging and a play area for climbing and swinging. Next, The Hills, rising 70-feet above sea-level with commanding view of New York Harbor. One of the elevations, Slide Hill, features four Richter slides—including New York City’s longest!
