A New Public Park
Hudson Green was designed by renowned landscape architects Sasaki, who have lead transformative projects such as The Chicago Riverwalk, The QueensWay Metropolitan Hub, and the NYC Community Parks Initiative to provide accessible and sustainable parks for underserved communities, and Hollander Design, whose portfolio includes individual homes, office towers, waterfront parks, and performing arts spaces.
With stunning views of the Hudson River, this new 5.6-acre public park creates an oasis of open lawns, gardens, playscapes, and groves that connect the West Side by providing additional access to the High Line and Hudson River Park. Comparable in size to Bryant Park, Hudson Green features a dog run, over 300 trees, 500 shrubs, and native flower beds that create an active landscape where people from the neighborhood can gather, play, and recharge.
The layering of infrastructure, decking, circulation, planting, tree canopy, and program has a long history in New York City and can be found in many of Manhattans great parks. Hudson Green builds on this legacy with a design that incorporates a series of gardens, planted over underground structures, that carve out inviting social spaces for the daily lives of New Yorkers.
VIEW OF HUDSON YARDS WEST
The animation portrays what the proposal to build on top of the undeveloped western rail yards would look like walking northwest. The view offers a look at the new office tower on the right, followed by the children’s playground, the residential tower, and then the expanse of Hudson Green and Wynn New York City. The animation ends on the reconfigured West 33rd Street, west of 11th Avenue near a new pedestrian connection to the High Line.
