Hi friends, welcome back! I’m sharing another NYC Spring Bucket List item today, a spring tour of Little Island. I previously shared about the history and creation of this unique park in this post, so be sure to check that out for more details. There’s not much new to say about Little Island since my last post, but I hope you enjoy the cheerful spring colors brightening up the gloomy day.
I remembered to get a picture of the arch of the original Cunard-White Star building from when this pier served as the arrival and departure spot for Trans-Atlantic voyages.
I loved the bright pops of color welcoming me to the park.
The views here never get old to me.
Hopefully we’ll make it to a performance here this summer.
Despite the gloomy day I ended up going back here, I thought the island looked beautiful. I think this park is incredibly unique and I love how they blend the structure and nature so seamlessly.
Next door to Little Island on Pier 57 there is a new rooftop park. I popped over there after and will have a tour soon 🙂
I’d definitely make sure you add Little Island to your NYC itinerary if you haven’t been yet. It’s a great spot to check out and enjoy some beautiful green space in NYC. The views of Lower Manhattan, Hudson Yards, and the Empire State Building can’t be beat and you can spend as little or as long as you please here. Just make sure you reserve a time slot if you’re coming Thursday-Sunday. I hope you enjoyed this spring tour! Stay tuned for a post on Little Island’s neighbor, Pier 57 coming next week 🙂
Interesting post Lyssy. I love the urban shots framed by blooms. Flowers in the foreground, as my beloved always says. Thanks for sharing. Allan
Thank you! It’s the best of both world with beautiful blooms and a cool skyline. Makes it easy to photograph!
You always take beautiful pictures!
Thank you!!
What a great place to visit Lyssy, I’ll definitely be adding this to my next NYC itinerary. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
My pleasure! You’ll enjoy checking out Little Island no matter the season 🙂
I really like the flowers in the middle of the city, a lovely pop of colour 🙂
Always so hopeful seeing the spring blooms. For some reason I thought that said rarely instead of really and I was like weird haha
Little Island looks beautiful, and I love all the flowers around it!
Such a pretty place to explore, they do a great job with the landscaping!
Nice to see this tiny oasis again. Are the buildings in the background in some of your photos intentionally leaning, or is it just trick photography (especially in the one just after the yellow flowers)? Those structures made me pause, and sort of forget about Little Island 🙂
You have a good eye, I didn’t even notice that! They are designed to be leaning and eventually will have a skywalk to connect them per an article I read. I’m guessing rent will be very expensive once they’re done!
Hi! We’ve noticed that some articles and guides still mention that Little Island operates on a timed-entry system. This was true when the park first opened, but it’s no longer the case!
To help ensure visitors have the most accurate information, we kindly ask that any references to timed entry be updated or removed. Outdated details can linger online, and they’re often picked up by search engines and AI tools, which may cause confusion for guests planning their visit.
We truly appreciate your support in helping us keep information about Little Island clear, accurate, and up to date!
Hi! Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I’ve removed that section of the post 🙂
