Wagner park is hardly larger than a soccer field.

They won't elevate the Jewish Museum, so the north part will just be a wall. They can't elevate the boathouse, so the south part will just be a wall...

Snap out of this trance where you just repeat media. You're not making any sense.

No. You are wrong.

Asser Levy, Stuyvesant Cove, The Promenade, and much of the East River Park and South Street waterfront are going to remain at street level with a flood wall. They've already begun placing the street-level flood wall in some places. According to the very sparse and apparently unofficial renderings of the project, there will only be a few areas that are actually "elevated" in some sections.

No, it's not being fixed by just a wall. The entire park is being raised. The entire project is for future generations to enjoy Lower Manhattan, but unfortunately entitled adults are far more concerned with a minor inconvenience for the next 5 years than actually dealing with climate change. And spare us the phony sob story about dead plants and animals. What do you think happens to them when the next big storm or flood comes?! To fight this hard to preserve something already doomed just for the short term convenience of old people is astounding.
