Come out and enjoy 22-acres of one of the largest privately developed public spaces in all of New York City. Designed by renowned landscape architect Lee Weintraub, the esplanade features a paved bike path/ walkway, extensive new foliage and landscaping, well-lit diverse seating areas, and a restored publicly-accessible pier extending into the Erie Basin. Similar to nearby city parks, this waterfront esplanade is open for public use from dawn until dusk.
