Construction began in January 2010

Titanic Park, a shady open space with a lighthouse monument at Fulton and Water Streets, is undergoing a transformation. As part of the New York City Parks Department program to rejuvenate parks in the Fulton Corridor, the city is moving on designs to renovate the small triangular park.

All of the posted information, including schedules and completion dates are based on the information provided by the project managers.

Summary

The main goal of the reconstruction effort is to make the park more welcoming and usable. To that end, the redesign will incorporate bluestone paving set in a wave pattern, a new arrangement of benches, additional trees, boulder seating, and pockets of plantings around the monument native to a tidal zone. A water feature will cross the space diagonally, intended to represent the city’s original coastline before the eastern edge was filled in.
