Enjoy the WFC Plaza, the yachts, sail boats, fountains. Follow the Esplanade south, past the Policemen's 9/11 memorial, along the Hudson River.
The Esplanade is for bicyclers, rollerbladers, joggers and walkers. You'll notice two paths, one reserved more for pedestrians. |

Art-On-The-Go-Go:
As you meander, you'll pass several pieces of outdoor art.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ned Smyth's The Upper Room, 1987, concrete aggregate, inlaid with mosaic tiles. A modern day rendition of an Egyptian temple, with chessboards and stools that bring it back into the utilitarian realm. |

Richard Artschwager's Sitting/Stance, 1988. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SOUTH COVE collaboration: Mary Miss (evironmental artist), Stanton Eckstut (architect), Susan Child (landscape architect), 1988.
Notice the shape of the Esplanade as it turns inward and outward; the rock formations; the flowers, grasses, trumpet vines; the pilings, often topped by a seagull, next to the pier-like area with the blue lanterns.
