Designs have been unveiled for an $8 billion new park in New York City, which will also feature a live music venue, a food hall, and a hotel and casino.
The Metropolitan Park project, renderings for which were revealed by Hard Rock and New York Mets owner Steve Cohen on Wednesday, will see empty parking lots transformed into 25 acres of new public park. The privately funded project is moving forward with New York’s process for public approval of the development, according to an official release.
The initiative intends to redevelop 50 acres of asphalt around Citi Field, the Mets’ baseball stadium, and is anticipated to create 23,000 jobs in the process. Newsweek has contacted Hard Rock for comment via email outside of standard working hours.

Alongside the park space, the new site will feature improved public transportation and climate infrastructure, live music, a Queens Food Hall, and a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino with bars, restaurants, and a sportsbook.
