This striking park connects Manhattan's municipal heritage with a bold and innovative look, a fitting tribute to Andrew Haswell Green, the figure who helped shepherd Central Park into existence and then led the effort to consolidate New York City. The park's most notable feature is the East River Roundabout, an 80-foot long steel aluminum helix created by artist Alice Aycock and dedicated in 1995, which wends its way through the bright red skeletal support remains of a defunct garbage transfer station. In 2024, an esplanade was added to the park, adding seating, a lawn, and connecting the park by ramp to East 60th Street, opening the park for easier pedestrian and cyclist access.
