The development of Harborfront Park, a five-acre brownfield site on the north shore of Long Island creates a unique a haven of green on a waterfront presently dominated by paving and parking, a park designed for passive uses, focused on Port Jefferson's magnificent harbor front views.

The park was designed in close collaboration with the residents of Port Jefferson, through questionnaires and a series of interactive design workshops. The park design incorporates historic elements of the site, which was a ship building center in the 18th and 19th centuries. An existing warehouse was retained for conversion to a community facility, and old tramway tracks will form trails through the park.

Users will be able to enjoy the continuous waterfront promenade, linked to the future Harborwalk, to stroll, picnic, fish from the pier, enjoy a game of checkers at a waterfront table or learn about village history and ecology through interpretive signage.

Chandlery Park, a small play area, was the first phase of the park design to be constructed. It provides a focus for young children and includes a interactive water sprays and a custom-built boat play structure.
