Channel: Hudson Yards
Date: 2015-07-22

New York’s newest elevated park, designed by the award winning firm Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, will be unlike any other park in the city. With jet engines, super chilled roots, smart soil and advanced irrigation, the Hudson Yards Public Square will include 28,000 shrubs and over 200 trees to create an urban oasis that will be visited by birds, bees and more than 24 million people every year.

Sitting at the nexus of the High Line, Hudson River Park and the soon-to-open Hudson Park & Boulevard, the 4.5 acre Hudson Yards Public Square will be at the center of an extensive new interconnected park system on Manhattan’s West Side.
