Bowling Green, Urban park and National Register site in Financial District, Manhattan, United States
The elongated park features a central fountain surrounded by benches, grass areas, trees, and an 18th-century cast iron fence at Broadway and State Street.
Established in 1733 as New York City's first public park, it contained an equestrian statue of King George III that colonists destroyed during the American Revolution.
The park marks the starting point for ticker-tape parades through Manhattan, a tradition that celebrates notable achievements and significant public figures.
The Bowling Green subway station underneath provides direct access to multiple train lines connecting different parts of New York City.
The Charging Bull bronze sculpture at the northern section draws thousands of visitors who follow the practice of touching it for financial fortune.
