Millennium Park (Manhattan)

Located to the south of City Hall Park, it is a Greenstreet site designed to replicate a forest amid a busy intersection.

The plaza contains a bus turnaround loop, formerly a paved median transformed into a green space at the turn of the 21st century.

[citation needed] The park was dedicated in November 2000, described by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani as “a final gift from the 20th century to New Yorkers of the 21st.”[1] With its completion date in mind, it was named Millennium Park.

Rockefeller’s contributions to the neighborhood includes the preservation of South Street Seaport, and the construction of World Trade Center and Battery Park City.

Keeping in theme with City Hall Park, the 3,500-pound clock was designed in the late 19th-century style to match the fountain and light fixtures of the Victorian period.
