Discover Governors Island


Governors Island welcomed a record-breaking 128,000 visitors in 2008, an incredible 125% increase over last year. The Island is currently closed but will re-open on Saturday, May 30, 2009. We hope you will come back then.

Governors Island will be the site of future educational, non-profit and commercial facilities, as well as world-class open space. An acclaimed team, led by West 8, has begun designing the future Governors Island Park and Great Promenade. To learn about their ideas for these new open spaces, click here.

If you would like to stay informed about what is happening on Governors Island with the park design process, see some of our recent public presentations. You can also subscribe to the Governors Island blog or submit your email address to receive regular updates on the park design process.
