Two years of the Hills on Gov­er­nors Island

We’re cel­e­brat­ing our anniver­sary — of the Hills, that is! Two years ago this week, on July 19, 2016, Gov­er­nors Island opened 10 brand new acres of park space to New York­ers for climb­ing, slid­ing, explor­ing and tak­ing in some of the best views of New York Har­bor, the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty and Low­er Man­hat­tan sky­line. Since then, hun­dreds of thou­sands of vis­i­tors have explored the unique land­scape of the Hills, enjoy­ing a brand new rela­tion­ship with the Harbor. 

In hon­or of the Hills, we’re look­ing back at the park in your pic­tures over the past two years.
