Sustainable Design
Hudson River Park’s sustainable design was put to the test during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. At the hurricane’s peak, 60 percent of the Park was inundated with as much as five feet of saltwater. Aside from minor damage to some vegetation, the Lawn Bowl’s careful design and durable construction allowed it to survive the storm virtually unscathed. Learn more about the Park’s Sustainability.
