Since July 2008, Hudson River Park has been half completed. Construction of another 30% is now underway and is expected to open in 2010. In this difficult economy, we are focused on obtaining necessary funds to keep construction going and are laying the groundwork to secure the nearly $200 million needed to complete the Park.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Chelsea: Piers 62 and 63 – a skate park, carousel, gardens, continuation of the esplanade and an open nine acre lawn bowl.

Tribeca: Piers 25 and 26 - a habitat planting zone, boat house, lawns, seating areas, overlooks, , a mini golf course, beach volleyball courts, , moorings, historic boats and site of the future (but unfunded) estuarium.

TO BE DEVELOPED

Clinton

Pier 97: continuation of the waterfront esplanade paralleled by lawns, gardens, basketball courts and shade trees. Work on this section can begin once the New York City Department of Sanitation relocates its operations, now being transferred under court order and additional funds are committed.

Pier 76: plans are unclear for this pier to be shared as both park and a commercial or municipal facility after the City relocates the NYPD tow pound. The esplanade and surrounding areas will link Chelsea to Midtown once the fate of the 30th Street Heliport is determined.

Chelsea

Pier 57: a future revenue generating pier for which development plans are currently being reviewed by the Hudson River Park Trust.

Pier 54: to be renovated as open space and area for special events once funds are raised.

Gansevoort Peninsula: to be transformed into six acres of open space, gardens and other attractions – the only large tract in the Park not built on a pier. Work to begin after 2013 when the Department of Sanitation relocates its operations (also under court order) and the plans for the proposed Marine Transfer Station for recyclables are settled.

Greenwich Village/Tribeca

Pier 40: the current site of major sports fields to be refurbished, further developed and maintained as a revenue source for the Park. Timing is critical to prevent further deterioration of the piers badly in need of repair.
