Four Freedoms Park

Four Freedoms Park is a tranquil memorial located on Roosevelt Island in New York City, honoring President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Designed by architect Louis Kahn, the park features a granite pathway leading to a central platform overlooking the East River, symbolizing the journey toward these ideals. It serves as a place for reflection on democracy, liberty, and global human rights, blending natural beauty with meaningful architecture to inspire appreciation for fundamental freedoms that underpin a free society.
