Look at those tulip-like posts. They hold Little Island up. The new park seems to float!

New York City has lots of tall buildings and honking cars. People need fun spaces like Little Island.

Read More: Little Island Park looks as if it floats above the Hudson River. New York City is on the other side of the park. The new park is built on 132 concrete posts. They are different heights. And they are topped with pots the builders call “tulip pots.” Thomas Heatherwick designed the park. Humans made hills and planted flowers, shrubs, trees, and grass. People can cross one of two bridges to get away from the city and into a quiet and lovely place. God promises His people in Isaiah 58:11, “You shall be like a watered garden.”
