We wel­comed more vis­i­tors than ever, and we’re still the park for New Yorkers

75% of the 800,000 peo­ple who enjoyed Gov­er­nors Island in 2017 hail from the five boroughs.

You dis­cov­ered over 80 free visu­al arts exhibits, hands-on edu­ca­tion, fes­ti­vals and more!

Over 10,000 vol­un­teer hours helped keep your park green, clean and sustainable.

We offered more ways to get around, dine and play!

We’re invest­ing in build­ing a year-round, ²⁴⁄₇ community.

Thank you for mak­ing mem­o­ries with us on Gov­er­nors Island in 2017!
