Zuccotti Park

Zuccotti Park is a small, publicly accessible area located in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It’s known for its central location near Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange. The park gained prominence in 2011 as the site of the Occupy Wall Street movement, where protesters gathered to challenge economic inequality and corporate influence. Despite its name, it’s privately owned but open to the public. The park features seating, trees, and a vibrant history of civic activism, serving as both a peaceful public space and a symbol of social protest.
