★★★★☆ Parker Shippey September 26, 2018
Foley Square is an iconic NY location, surrounded by Pantheonic facades; indelible castles of the United States justice system. The fountain at its center is indicative of the powerful source of stability for democracy that a just, impartial, grounded, due process system provides the populace. That energy is ever flowing to the center of that iconic fountain, a massive hammer, sculpted in stone, which echos the clash of a gavel onto the base of a wooden pulpit. Were it not for the surrounding tyrannical mechanications of the police state in response to the threat of terror and instability, this park would be a welcoming and comfortable setting for introspection and appreciation for the very country it serves to exalt. Police K-9s inspect every parcel, every vehicle, every individual that drifts from the base of the park to its surrounding premises, leaving the casual observer in a state of unrest. Were it not for this toxic concentration of conflictual energy surrounding this public forum, it would be a place for celebration, peace, and tranquility in an otherwise unstable landscape.

Heart of the courts in NYC. Federal and state. Lots of history here. A nice fountain, convenient subway station. Blocks from city hall. Skateboarders seem to like stunting on the fountain and steps.

This is a nice place, but nothing to do, so you can take few pictures and that all about

A large area in lower Manhattan by the Brooklyn Bridge. It was used as the starting point for our Kidney walk. This is a 3 mile walk to raise money for kidney research.
