Gansevoort Peninsula
Construction has wrapped up at the Gansevoort Peninsul, a 5.5 acre addition to Hudson River Park that is located across from the Whitney Museum of Art. Designed by Field Operations, the park features a beach with 1,200 tons of sand, picnic area, boardwalk with a Pine Grove, a multi use sports field, a salt marsh at the northern boundary, and David Hammons’ public art installation Day’s End at the southern edge. The new addition also features an amenities pavilion by nArchitects that is clad in perforated corrugated cast-concrete panels that are backlit to create varying lighting effects. Completion of the pavilion is expected later this fall.
