This Is the Best Free Attraction in New York City-and No, It's Not Central Park
"The park, which overlooks the World Trade Center campus, is a stunning one-acre green space that "has something for everyone as a community park and home to must-see monuments and points of interest," the report explains. The space was designed by landscape architect Joseph Brown, serving double-duty as a beautiful place for people to gather or unwind and as a green roof over the garage and roadways."
""A living wall, designed by Plant Connection of Riverhead, contains a variety of plant species that grow along the park's northern wall," the park's site adds. The Saint Nicholas National Shrine is located on the east side of the park. The Koenig Sphere and America's Response Monument occupy its western side. The west end of the green space also connects to the pedestrian walkway (damaged on 9/11) over West Street to Brookfield Place."
A one-week trip to New York City typically costs about $2,541 for one person and $5,082 for two. An examination of Tripadvisor reviews isolated the highest-rated free-admission attraction in each state; in New York City Liberty Park at the World Trade Center ranked highest.
