ABOUT GOVERNORS ISLAND

Governors Island is a 172-acre island in the heart of New York Harbor. Just minutes from lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn waterfront by ferry, the Island is a popular year-round destination for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. A former military base closed to the public for nearly two centuries, Governors Island has been transformed over the last decade into a vibrant public destination.

An award-winning park with winding paths and extraordinary vistas complements its dozens of historic buildings, year-round educational and cultural facilities, rich arts and culture program and 22-acre National Monument managed by the National Park Service.
