JCC&A as members of the design team Rogers Marvel / West 8 / Diller Scofido + Renfro/ Quennell Rothschild/ SMWM are Project Honor Award Winners for the Governors Island Park and Public Open Space project on Governors Island in New York Harbor.
The vision for the 90 acres of parkland incorporates playgrounds, an ampitheater, family programming, hills made from recycled island buildings, and free bicycles for public use along a new waterfront promenade. JCC&A serves as the recreation and family programming consultant on the team. The team was one of five finalists selected by the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation and was featured in the June 4, 2007 New York Magazine article presenting the five new visions for the island.
