Art Tribeca - Jeff Koons Potted Park
There is a small triangular park in my neighborhood at the Path Train entrance at the old World Trade Center. This is the beginning of where Greenwich Street starts going up the left hand side of the park, and West Broadway going up the right side of the park.
I've walked all around the park and there is no "name plaque" for the park that I could see and no plaque for what I believe is a Jeff Koons sculpture sitting in the middle of a fountain. I googled Koons and found a video of Jeff Koons at the dedication of the "Flower Baloon" sculpture at the park at WTC 7. So there we have our park name and sculpture identified.
All in all it is a pleasant stop with plenty of benches and suits enjoying their lunch break. Most all the flowers and greenery are in pots. I was wondering if the trees were actually connected to the real earth(?), or are they in giant pots as well,, maybe the whole park is sitting above a parking garage or such,, making the park one big pretty potted plant. Green is always good..
