City Hall Park's central location makes it an ideal stop for both locals looking for a breath of fresh air and tourists exploring nearby landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Financial District, and the 9/11 Memorial.

City Hall Park is home to the New York City's City Hall.

City Hall Park is part of New York City's City Hall, and the park is situated right in front of City Hall. South of City Hall to be exact.

It is a very pleasant little park with car and bus traffic surrounding it. That is the way it was laid out back in the days when they were planning it. However, no worries because the traffic do stay in their lanes.

On the east side of City Hall Park, you have the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. To the west of the park, you the Woolworth's Building. To the sourh west of the park is the Freedom Tower, and to the north of the park, you have the Municipal Building and NYC'S Civil Center in Foley Square.

There use to be art work on display, but i did not see any this Spring. It is quite relaxing and peaceful to have lunch in the park. In the back of City Hall there are chess and checkera tables with benched where folks who needs a place to set down their lunches.

There is a fountain in the middle if the park, and the running water is kind of soothing.

In the neighborhood, stop by and enjoy all and everything New York City.

Happy...

And finally 5) a statue of Benjamin Franklin across the street at Park Row and Spruce St. adjacent to...
