Governors Island breaks records with number of visitors in 2008!
Oct 16, 2008 8:45 pm
It’s official! Governors Island has ended the season with more visitors than ever. This year, more than 128,000 visitors came to the Island, compared to 56,000 last year and 26,000 the year before. Visitors came to enjoy more than four miles of car-free biking, concerts, performances, exhibitions, tours and more. The Island may now be closed to the public, but there is still a lot happening here. The design process for the future park and promenade got underway, and we want to hear what you think about these new open spaces on Governors Island. Be sure to mark your calendars for May 30, 2009 when we reopen to the public. And in the meantime, subscribe to our blog to get email updates about the design process and what is going on during our off-season. We look forward to seeing you back on the Island soon.
