The park, called Little Island but nicknamed Diller Island while under construction, was built with 260 million US dollars (£184 million) from the foundation of media mogul Barry Diller, the former 20th Century Fox chief executive, and his wife, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg. It joins a string of piers along Manhattan’s west side that have been redeveloped for recreational use over the last 20 years, but its unusual design sets it apart.
