New York City now has a beautiful new park on the Upper West Side to be enjoyed by visitors of all ages: Waterline Square Park. This coveted green space acts as a backyard for the residents and pets of the Waterline Square residential development, and also as a much-needed outdoor space for residents of the surrounding community to relax, exercise and enjoy nature.
Designed by acclaimed landscape architecture firm Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects (MNLA), this beautiful park spans 2.6 acres at the heart of Waterline Square, a residential development along the Hudson River waterfront where Midtown meets the Upper West Side. The park includes more than 200 trees of 20 different species, 65 percent of which are native to New York.
The west end of the development is anchored by conifers and evergreens that aesthetically frame the Hudson River in the distance, while a perennial garden provides native habitats and creates texture that complements the park’s expansive lawn. The park unifies the buildings of Waterline Square while connecting the nearby waterfront space to the surrounding community.
Complete with water features, lush plantings, walking paths and an expansive playground, the park serves at once as a backyard and an oasis, creating a verdant view and serene retreat for residents in the area.
Since the space opened in 2020, the park has attracted throngs of visitors clamoring for cherished outdoor space. With a fully-equipped children’s playground and plenty of open space to run around, the park is especially resonating with families at a time when green space is on everyone’s minds.
Developer GID Development Group has programmed the park with a full calendar of socially-distanced events for residents and those nearby, including yoga, fitness classes, musical performances by Grammy-nominated artists, gardening events and more.
Waterline Square is a collection of three residential buildings on one of the last remaining waterfront development sites on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The development has been designed by RichardMeier & Partners Architects, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Rafael Viñoly Architects, with interiors by Champalimaud Design, Yabu Pushelberg and Groves & Co.
Offering a variety of residential lifestyle opportunities, Waterline Square is home to condominiums, rental residences and a comprehensive amenities package designed in collaboration with Rockwell Group. Surrounding Waterline Square Park will be a dynamic hospitality program open to the neighborhood, including Harry’s Table by Cipriani, Empellón andSomm Cellars Wine & Spirits.
