Pre­view the View!

Pre­view the view from the top of Out­look Hill, 70 feet above New York Har­bor! The Hills have just reached full height and to cel­e­brate, we are invit­ing ALL our vis­i­tors to expe­ri­ence them for them­selves. For two days only, vis­i­tors can go to the Hills con­struc­tion site, walk to the top of Out­look Hill, and expe­ri­ence an unpar­al­leled 360 degree panoram­ic view of New York Har­bor and the Stat­ue of Liberty. 

The Hills will be open from 11 AM to 4 PM on both Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 26 and Sun­day, Sep­tem­ber 27. What bet­ter way to mark the end of our pub­lic sea­son! There will a bike valet and self­ie sticks for all. And, to make it even eas­i­er for our vis­i­tors from Brook­lyn, on Sun­day, Sep­tem­ber 27 (our last pub­lic day), there will be fer­ry ser­vice every half hour from Brooklyn! 

For sug­gest­ed walk­ing routes to the Hills, please down­load the map, and don’t for­get to tag us in your posts on Twit­ter, Face­book, and Insta­gram with #pre­viewthe­view and #gov­is­land­hills.

Come out and see why the Hills are the cul­mi­na­tion of the Island’s park and once com­plet­ed, will tru­ly be a must-see destination.
