Zuccotti Park

Zuccotti Park is a small park in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It was formerly known as Liberty Plaza Park, when it was created in the late 1960s, to add some greenery to the Financial District. Zuccotti Park is bordered by Liberty Street to the north, Broadway to the east, Cedar Street to the south and Trinity Place to the west. Within its vicinity is the 9/11 Memorial Museum and Medhattan Immediate Medical Care, among others.

Zuccotti Park measures 33,000-square-foot (3,100 sq meters). It suffered heavy damage from the September 11 attack, and was subsequently closed. After it reopened, it was often used for events related to the attacks, such as commemoration ceremonies. Zuccotti Park got its present name in June 2006, after the park underwent an $8 million renovation project. The park was renamed in honor of John Zuccotti, who was the chairman of Brookfield Properties which funded the renovation. Zuccotti Park has a wide variety of trees, granite sidewalks, tables and seats, as well as lights built into the ground which illuminate the area. The park is also home to two sculptures: a 70-foot-tall red steel sculpture Joie de Vivre by Mark di Suvero and Double Check, a bronze businessman sitting on a bench, by John Seward Johnson II.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
