My sister and I have walked to this park area and that this area is also known as Canyon of Heroes. This park is located near the Bowling Green subway station, the southern tip of Broadway, ferries, charging bull, and financial district. Also, that both of us saw many tourists there relaxing.
I was there for a short time at One Wall Whole Foods (66 Broadway). Since it was a short visit at their closing time I didn't have real time to explore. However, the experience was good enough to rate it a 4 star. I'll have to update this when I can visit with more time.
Beautiful and relaxing! A fun little escape from the crazy, active world around it.
I had heard about this little park and was amazed that the fence fron the 1700's was still there. I love to find these little historical finds that are all over the city. Beautiful place. I stayed for a while enjoying the benches and shade.
