    Shoreline Restoration Project Community Plan for Southpoint Open Space Park 9
    Community Vision for the Future of
    Southpoint Open Space
    (from Community Plan for Southpoint Open Space)

    The Community Plan for Southpoint Open Space park will


    preserve and celebrate this dynamic, natural landscape and
    spectacular scenic viewpoints, which both contrasts with and
    defines this tranquil setting.

    The Community Plan will cultivate an inviting and usable space


    that takes into account the abilities, ages, and interests of
    both current and new members of the community. A flexible
    and adaptable design will include cultural features and
    amenities that provide opportunities for gatherings, learning,
    and exploration.

    The Community Plan will respect and augment the space’s


    context, history, and natural systems. Above all, Southpoint
    Open Space will remain a natural, open space for the
    Roosevelt Island community in its setting, use, and role.
