The past decade in New York City has seen a revival of waterfront rehabilitation, as many abandoned industrial waterfront sites are remediated and developed as open public recreation areas, with a focus on providing water related recreational access for the neighboring communities. The waterfront rehabilitation and development of the $72 million Minor League Yankees Ballpark at the St. George Station waterfront site located on Staten Island, NY, and the $400 million Hudson River Park along Manhattan's West Side, are ongoing examples of this trend in waterfront rehabilitation. This paper describes the recreational development and waterfront rehabilitation associated with the construction of the Minor League Yankees Ballpark. The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) retained the services of Han-Padron Associates, LLP (HPA) as the Marine Consultant responsible for the engineering and design of the new Shore Protection, Waterfront Esplanade and two adjacent Promenade structures.
