Little Island opened on May 21, 2021, as an oasis for New Yorkers, with more than two acres of magnificent landscape, distinctive architecture, dazzling views, and an abundance of free education programs and performances.

After a year of isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, visitors embraced the essential need for a connection to nature, art, and community — we hosted more than 1M visitors in our inaugural year!

Little Island continues to benefit from the generosity and commitment of the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation.
