Little Island, NYC's Floating Park, is a Marvel.
It’s a floating island, a pier, and a park — but it’s a miracle more than anything else.
Little Island, the brand-new public playground off West 14th Street in the Hudson River, rises out of the water 200 feet from noisy Eleventh Avenue, but a world removed. It’s the biggest, and most creative, park opening since the High Line. The Big Apple has never seen anything like it.
When it opens Friday morning at 6 a.m., New Yorkers will finally get to explore the undulating, “floating” green space dreamed up, and mostly paid for, by the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation, headed by IAC chairman and former Hollywood mogul Barry Diller.

*Note== In the visitors' videos posted on ytube, they show 2 black and white optical illusions in the park, each is a large round screen with black and white stripes that swirl like a hynotic pattern.
