Hudson River Park is an excellent example of the fact that futuristic projects of modern architects and designers can be realized. This incredibly beautiful and interesting over water park was designed several years ago, and The Hudson River Park Trust company recently announced the beginning of its construction. The park has been decided to be built in one of the busiest and most popular tourist areas of New York - the West Side. It is in close proximity to the "Pier 55".
For many years now, one of the damaged berths is idle, which will form the basis of the park's design. A huge plarform, supported by several hundred pillars, will be built above the water. On the platform, a layer of soil is planned to be laid, a lot of trees and plants are also in the project. In the park there will be several cozy cafes. Recreation areas will be equipped for visitors among this natural splendour, playgrounds are planned for the youngest guests.
According to approximate estimates, investments in the construction of the Hudson River Park will amount to about 130 million US dollars. Some of the main sponsors of the project are a businessman Barry Dealer and a famous fashion designer Diana von Furstenberg. The area of the park after the completion of the construction will reach 10000 square meters. If the project can be implemented in a full accordance with the initial one, then the park will accommodate a large amphitheater. Hudson River Park will be a great place to relax from the "stone jungle", as well as a venue for a number of significant cultural events.
