No. You are wrong.

Water SHOULD destroy us all.

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.

You are suggesting a park is being demolished and rebuilt with a flood wall not because climate change is real but because it's a grand conspiracy of government officials making up fake projects to give money to construction companies.
But, sure, I am in a trance.

You are suggesting that $221M is being spent legitimately to raise a 200' by 600' park...
...The entire park, you claim is being raised without leaving street level areas with walls, even though that park contains two very large landmarks which border the waterfront and cannot be raised.

So how much do you think it costs to demolish and rebuild a coastal park in Manhattan? I'd love to hear how you've scoped this out.

They're demolishing a sunbathing platform and a few hundred feet of footpaths, then packing down landfill and walling off sections while laying new footpaths and some sod and saplings.
$20,000,000 would be overly expensive. Anything above that is going to corruption.
