This little gem has great views, be sure not to miss it. Nice walk around park too.
Ok, the place is unique, built on petals, on piers. Pretty. But that's about it. There's nothing to see, nothing to do. Too hot and sunny, not much shade. And then too crowded. The water view is nice but a bit boring.
It's a pass unless you have seen everything else famous in the city. Which should be unlikely because the city has quite a few famous places.
Good thing is it's free.

Little Island is a new public park, located in Hudson River Park, where all New Yorkers and visitors can experience nature and art in a unique urban oasis on the Hudson River.
I recommand going early morning or later at night if you want less crowd.

Overly crowded. I would rather recommend the rooftop park beside this. It's a much better spot for photo opportunities and also to enjoy the view.
Little Island is quite magnificent. There are ton of place where you can take elegant photos of the landscapes, sceneries, and friends/family. My friends and I went in the morning, so it was quite busy and packed. Of course, this means that the Observation Deck was full of people. The deck gave you a higher vantage point to view the areas of the Little Island and of the river, but that is all. I still highly recommend you try to get here as early as possible though.
It can get a little busy, but still worth a visit! Definitely a nice addition to NYC parks, and having this one be wheel chair friendly is definitely such a plus! So you can go up and down on different paths - if you're able to. The views at the top is honestly not that great, but definitely more park space, especially nicely designed ones, is always a plus!
