Restrooms and Changing Tables

Little Island has an ADA accessible all-gender restroom available for use. All public restrooms are equipped with changing tables. Restrooms are located near The Glade just past the South Bridge entrance to the park. We encourage patrons to use any restroom that best aligns with their gender identity.

Wheelchairs and Mobility Aids

Little Island is ADA compliant and all areas are accessible using our pathways. The majority of our pathways are paved, but you will encounter dirt when you enter The Glade and grass if you choose to enter the lawns.

We have two loaner wheelchairs available. Please see our park staff if you would like to borrow a wheelchair during your visit. You must leave an ID with our park staff in order to borrow a wheelchair.

For events in The Amph, we have eight wheelchair and scooter-accessible locations available where patrons can remain in their wheelchairs. These locations are available at both the stage level and at the top of the theater. Please reserve this accommodation when you purchase your performance ticket. Wheelchair locations at the top of the theater are also available any time The Amph is open as public space.

Service Animals

Working dogs assisting patrons with disabilities are welcome at Little Island. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed at Little Island, as our horticulture team works hard to maintain our garden beds and lawns that can be soiled by pet waste and activities. We’re a small park with a lot of visitors, and plenty of plants and flowers that need preservation.

Accessible Pathways

The closest Citibike stations to Little Island are located along 10th Avenue on 14th Street and 15th Street. Alternatively, there are additional locations by The High Line on West 16th Street, as well as on the corner of Washington and Gansevoort Streets.

Audio Tours

You can listen to our History Audio Tour and Landscape Audio Tour here.

Breastfeeding & Lactation

Breastfeeding is welcome in all areas of the park. There are no private breastfeeding lounges or lactation stations for electronic pumping. Refrigeration or heating of expressed milk or formula is not available.

Drinking Fountains and Bottle Refill

A water bottle refill station is location just outside the restrooms and there are water fountains location by the south bridge and in The Play Ground.

For Visitors who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

ASL interpretation is available for several of our performances. Assistive listening devices are available for performances in The Amph and The Glade. Please see a member of our park staff if you would like to borrow
one.

For Visitors with Sensory Needs

If you are looking for a quieter time to visit, the months of November to March are usually the least crowded.

Accessible Performances

How do I reserve an accessible seat?

Wheelchair and scooter-accessible locations are available in the rear row of the Amphitheater (sections 1, 3, and 5). To reserve one, please complete our Access Reservation Form, including any additional accessibility needs so our team can best support your visit. Submissions are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. A member of our ticketing team reviews requests on a rolling basis and will follow up by email with availability and next steps. If your request can be accommodated, you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions to complete your purchase.

What happens after I submit the form?

Your request goes to our ticketing team, who will book your seats and send a payment link to complete your order within 3 business days. Accessible inventory is reviewed regularly to keep the form up to date, with more frequent updates as events approach.

Why do I need to submit a form instead of booking accessible seats online?

Accessible seating at the Amphitheater is limited and requires specific accommodations. This request process allows our team to ensure you and your party are placed in the most appropriate and comfortable location available.

Can I reserve seats for companions?

Yes. You may request tickets for companions when submitting the form. We’ll do our best to seat your party together or as close as possible.

What if I already have a ticket but need an accessible seat?

If you’ve already booked a ticket and require an accessibility accommodation, please contact TodayTix support for assistance.
