Hudson River Park Trust Seeks Contractors for Manhattan’s First Public Beach
The Hudson River Park Trust has issued three RFPs for the construction of the 5.5-acre Gansevoort Peninsula, which will provide direct waterfront access for the public with a resilient beachfront as well as the largest single greenspace in the park. Construction on the $70-million project is slated to begin this spring.
“Gansevoort Peninsula will be a spectacular public space for all New Yorkers, whether they’re enjoying Manhattan’s first public beach, playing on the ballfields or looking out in the salt marsh,” said Madelyn Wils, the Park Trust’s president & CEO.
Located in Hudson River Park between Gansevoort Street and Little West 12th Street, Gansevoort Peninsula will include a sandy beach area with kayak access on the south side; a lawn and seating area north of the beach; a large sports field; a salt marsh with habitat enhancements, a dog run and, on its western side, picnic tables and lounge chairs.
