Governors Island

Governor's Island is 43 acres of new, award-win­ning public space that is accessible by ferry from Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. The Island is host to extra­or­di­nary open spaces, trans­for­ma­tive arts and cul­ture programing, and climate change research. These efforts will togeth­er advance the mis­sion of the Trust to con­tin­ue Gov­er­nors Island’s trans­for­ma­tion as an extra­or­di­nary pub­lic place, sup­port­ing year-round pub­lic access and cre­at­ing a path towards finan­cial sustainability.
