Little Island at Pier 55 is an iconic park built in the Hudson River in 2021. It was largely funded by a billionaire, and almost not built at all, thanks to another billionaire. The Little Island story is one of commerce, cruise ships, hurricanes, billionaires, and park acreage.

A really nice example of a 21st century park. Biocentric native planting, minimised liminal space, intuitive travel corridors, multiuse areas, and even the greyspace is somewhere between brutalism and art nouveau. There isn't much I'd change beyond expanding on what they already do and adding sponge gardens to the periphery so that it isn't so isolated. In my ideal garden city something like this would be built into every high-density housing bloc like the Barbican Centre's botanical garden.
