The Queen Elizabeth II September 11th Garden, Memorial park in Financial District, New York.
The Queen Elizabeth II September 11th Garden is a memorial park in Manhattan's Financial District with a triangular design featuring sandstone pathways and decorative fencing. Native plants frame the space around a central commemorative stone.
Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated the garden in July 2010, establishing it as a memorial for Commonwealth citizens who died in the September 11 attacks. The project emerged from efforts to honor international solidarity and the support shown by nations around the world.
The garden's layout echoes the shape of the British Isles through its pathways, linking New York to United Kingdom heritage. Visitors can see plants representing different Commonwealth nations, reflecting the shared bonds of the international community.
The park sits at the intersection of Pearl and Stone streets in Hanover Square and opens daily from dawn until dusk without entry fees. The location provides easy access from surrounding Financial District streets.
The memorial fence finials display national flowers from Commonwealth countries, while paths are paved with British Morayshire sandstone. This material choice quietly connects the two nations with every step taken through the site.
