Liberty Park is an elevated public park under construction in the new World Trade Center in New York City, overlooking the World Trade Center site. It began construction in 2013 when the Vehicular Security Center was completed, and it will be completed between 2015 and early 2017. The park, when open, will overlook the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and will have a connection to the Liberty Street Bridge. The St. Nicholas Church, destroyed in the September 11 attacks, will be rebuilt in the park, with a new design by Santiago Calatrava, who designed most of the reconstructed site. The park, located above Liberty Street, is just a little more than in area. Liberty Park is located on top of the Vehicular Security Center, the latter of which protects the site against unauthorized vehicles. About $50 million was allocated to the park's construction by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in December 2013. __NOTOC__ ==Description== It is planned to have a capacity of 750 people and will be the roof of the Vehicular Security Center. A "living wall" will be located on the Liberty Street facade, which would be "essentially a vertical landscape, roughly 300 feet long and more than 20 feet high, made of periwinkle, Japanese spurge, winter creeper, sedge and Baltic ivy.” A walkway from the pedestrian bridge will curve along the park; egresses will be three stairways, the pedestrian bridge, and a straight ramp down to Greenwich Street. Of these exits, a wide, "monumental" staircase would be located parallel to Greenwich Street and directly behind the church. There will be wood benches and a small amphitheater-like elevated space at the West Street end of the park. Finally, a "continuous overlook" along much of Liberty Street would be provided in addition to "a gently curving balcony" at the church's foot. 〔 Five World Trade Center was planned to be built adjacent to the southern edge of the VSC and Liberty Park on the site of the former Deutsche Bank Building. , the Port Authority does not plan to proceed with construction of the building until tenants are found. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liberty Park (Manhattan)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
