Socrates Sculpture Park

Fodor's Review:

In 1985 local artist Mark di Suvero and other residents rallied to transform what had been an abandoned landfill and illegal dump site into this 4.5-acre waterfront park devoted to public art. Today a superb view of the river and Manhattan frames changing exhibitions of contemporary sculptures and multimedia installations. Free public programs include art workshops and an annual outdoor film series (July and August, Wednesday evenings).

  • Cost: Free
  • Open: Daily 10-sunset
  • Subway: N, W to Broadway, then walk 8 blocks west or take Q104 bus along Broadway to Vernon Blvd.
