Outside in St. George / Stapleton

Two white wings forty feet high standing on the esplanade just north of the ferry terminal, facing the gap in the Lower Manhattan skyline. Inside them are 274 plaques, one for each Staten Island resident killed on September 11, 2001 and in the 1993 bombing, each carrying a name and birthday. A job and profile silhouette complete each plaque. It was designed by Masayuki Sono, who won an open competition in 2003, and dedicated on the third anniversary. The esplanade it sits on runs along the harbor past the ballpark and is open and free.

Outdoor and publicly accessible. The esplanade is a city waterfront walk with no gate and no admission

The square that Stapleton is built around, two blocks of grass and plane trees with Edgewater Village Hall standing in the middle of it. The hall went up in 1889 for the Village of Edgewater, which is what this part of the island was before the city absorbed it, and it is a designated landmark. There are benches, a playground at the Canal Street end and a war memorial, and on a weekday afternoon it is mostly people cutting through and sitting.

Open daily, 6am to 1am as a city park
