New Park Space Open Along LIC Waterfront

This week, the city opened up a new extension of Gantry Plaza State Park, as part of the massive Hunters Point South development. The city and the Hunters Point developers agreed to build a new continuous waterfront park, along with the mixed-use buildings, adjacent to LIC’s existing Gantry Plaza State Park. According to the Long Island City Partnership, this new park space features a great lawn, a playground, a basketball court and access to the East River Ferry. The park also incorporates historic train tracks, as you can see in the photo above. Looks beautiful! See another photo after the jump.
