Located along the East River, this waterfront park features restored gantry cranes that once loaded rail cars onto barges, a nod to LIC’s industrial heritage. Visitors can enjoy scenic views of the Manhattan skyline, playgrounds, piers, and landscaped gardens in a setting that blends history with modern leisure.
Adjacent to Gantry Plaza, this park offers sweeping panoramas of the Empire State Building and United Nations.
One of the oldest and largest nonprofit contemporary art institutions in the U.S., housed in a converted 19th-century school building. As an affiliate of the Museum of Modern Art, it showcases experimental, cutting-edge art and hosts seasonal events. Its presence anchors LIC’s reputation as an arts and culture destination.
