Hart Island Park
More than one million impoverished bodies have reportedly been buried here. Now It's becoming a public New York City Park.
Hart Island is located at the western end of Long Island Sound, in The Bronx in the northeastern portion of New York City. Measuring approximately 1 mi long by 0.33 mi wide, Hart Island is part of the Pelham Islands archipelago east of City Island.
Hart Island, a potter's field where New York City has buried its unclaimed dead for over a century, will finally accept visitors this year.
