Freedom Plaza — Attraction in New York

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently visited Freedom Plaza to see the "Field of Light" exhibition, and it was a breathtaking experience. Spanning six acres in Manhattan, the installation features 18,750 lowlight, fiber-optic stemmed spheres that slowly change hues. Walking through the winding paths surrounded by these ethereal lights, with the city's iconic skyline and the East River waterfront as a backdrop, was truly mesmerizing.

Accessibility at Freedom Plaza is excellent. The paths are well-maintained and suitable for people in wheelchairs, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this beautiful display. The restrooms were clean and well-equipped, even featuring heated water, which was a nice touch.

Thanks to The Soloviev Foundation, entry to the "Field of Light" exhibition is free, making this stunning experience accessible to all. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and magical outing...

Which looks pretty neat and will be...

Definitely a tax write off for the developer now that it is an “art installation”that only few go to and as far as I know that is barely open with exclusive free tickets and “sold out” entrance times although it’s never busy. Empty wasteland with a bunch of ugly electrical cables in an overgrown field next to the FDR. A real eye sore and truly disappointing when it could have been turned into something for the community without it needing to be attached to a building construction project/casino/hotel etc. Why security was hired for the site that is never open truly confuses me as they just stand around ominously in the cold or in the boiling heat. It floods when it rains and becomes a lake. Can’t see this site ever becoming anything good for the neighborhood and encapsulates the corruption that goes on in...
