Demolition of Tango Pier at Governors Island in NY Harbor. Governors Island is a 172-acre, car-free Island in New York Harbor nestled between the Brooklyn waterfront and Lower Manhattan, an eight-minute ferry ride from Manhattan. The Island today is a popular seasonal destination open to the public from May through October. A new 43-acre park is complemented by City's largest historic district, educational facilities, a rich arts and culture program and a 22-acre National Monument managed by the National Park Service. Unlike anywhere else in New York, Governors Island offers peaceful settings with sweeping views of the Harbor, skyline and Statue of Liberty. Looking ahead, Governors Island is poised for growth as a year-round public place for learning, innovation, arts and culture. The Trust is currently exploring the development of a major center for climate adaptation research as part of its growth strategy to become a 24/7 destination. Opening to the public for the first time in 2004 for select summer weekends, the Island has expanded to a 6- month public season. The Island has welcomed over 6M people over that period, with an average 12% increase in visitors year over year. As we prepare for continued growth, The Trust will explore additional operating hours and will implement enhancements to ferry service. The Governors Island Corporation, doing business as The Trust for Governors Island (TGI), is the 501(c)3 not-forprofit organization created by the City of New York and charged with the planning, redevelopment, and ongoing operations of 150 acres of Governors Island.
