Pier 58 Features

Marine‑themed Playground
The Pier 58 marine-themed play area is entertaining to all ages, visually striking, and accessible to different mobility needs. Stretching 25 feet high, the visually striking jellyfish sculpture has swooping tentacles into large climbable nets, hand holds, slide bars, and flexform seats. The jellyfish is transparent enough for supervision but also gives a sense of enclosure. The ocean and city-skyline view from the jellyfish’s main body are a wondrous experience for climbers.
The play space also includes kelp-like robinia posts, climbable bubbles popping out of the ground, and an ADA accessible slide platform. Seating on the edges and throughout the area means parents and guardians can relax and watch their kids play.
Plaza
In total, Pier 58 boasts nearly 50,000 square feet of new public space. At the center of the pier is an open plaza, which acts as a event space, as well as a flexible space to gather with friends and loved ones. Built-in seating lines the western edge of the pier, and moveable tables and chairs give plenty of options for those taking in the views, or attending an event.
Tree Grove & Elevated Lawn
6 types of trees and a large turf lawn provide shade and soft spaces to relax and play.
