- New signage and other key visitor amenities are a part of the first phase of West 8’s park and public space plan.
This week’s Architects Newspaper features an article about the first phase of the Governors Island Park and Public Space Master Plan, which begins construction in the spring of 2012.
In the Historic District, the first phase adds new lighting, seating and signage throughout the Historic District, creates a new welcoming gateway at Soissons Landing, transforms asphalt to green at the South Battery and regrades the Parade Ground to allow for flexible field sports. It also creates a new 30-acre park in the center of the Island with Liggett Terrace, Hammock Grove and the Play Lawn.
