Liberty Park, Public park in Lower Manhattan, United States
Description
Liberty Park is a small green space in Lower Manhattan built on the roof of a security center and contains pathways, benches, and native plants. Its elevated location allows open views of the neighboring memorial grounds and the surrounding streets of the financial district.
History
The park opened in 2016 after the site was destroyed in the events of September 11, 2001. Construction lasted several years and formed part of the rebuilding effort across the entire World Trade Center area.
Culture
The Greek Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Nicholas occupies a corner of the park and maintains worship traditions that existed here before 2001. Its white marble dome carries a cross symbol and attracts visitors who come to observe its simple design.
Practical
Access is possible around the clock without needing to buy a ticket. Stairs and ramps connect the park directly to the sidewalks of Liberty Street and the entrances to the transit hub below.
Did you know?
The entire site sits on an artificial platform that floats about 25 feet (8 meters) above street level and hides vehicle security facilities. This elevation creates a quiet setting above the busy streets and allows views of the memorial that would not be possible from the sidewalk.
