Pic­ture Your­self in a New Park on Gov­er­nors Island

Aug 29, 2008 8:33 pm

Pic­ture your­self in a new park on Gov­er­nors Island. What you would do there? What would you see? What if you were on a new water­front Great Prom­e­nade look­ing out at the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty? What would it be like?

On a few select week­ends this fall, we’ll be invit­ing vis­i­tors to tell us their ideas for our new 40-acre park and Great Prom­e­nade and have their pic­ture tak­en and dig­i­tal­ly insert­ed into thi­er favorite con­cep­tu­al vision for that new park. If you’ve had your pho­to tak­en at our pho­to­booth, vis­it our flickr page and down­load your picture!

Check back with us to find out about upcom­ing pho­to­booth dates or sign up at info-​gipec@​empire.​state.​ny.​us for updates about Gov­er­nors Island park plan­ning and oth­er events. The pho­to­booth is just one of many ways we’ll have for you to get involved with the future park plans.
