Zucotti Park

Zuccotti Park is a small public space located in Lower Manhattan, New York City, directly near the World Trade Center. Owned by Brookfield Properties, it functions as a privately managed park open to the public. The park gained prominence in 2011 as the site of the Occupy Wall Street protests, where demonstrators advocated for economic equality and corporate accountability. It features green spaces, benches, and access points, serving as a communal area for relaxation and gatherings. Despite its private ownership, Zuccotti Park is an important symbol of civic activism and urban public space in New York City.
