What a stunning sight: the Plaza, the water fall/pool, all those gorgeous majestically structured buildings.So proud to live in the country of the free

Perfect setting for our chapter photo. #wakandaforever #phibetasigma

A great underestimated part of history, most local just pass it by as the skateboarder just rail grind or Kick flip from it. A part of history thats treated by Parks & Recreation assigned to it. And sadly its treated instead of learned just as this part of our American History is... Sad that most bypass it...

Everyone should visit this area to see the magnificent architecture of the court buildings... and be sure to go inside... unbelievable detail in the domes and plaster and tile... Stunning architecture from the Gilded Age... you will immediately recognize the steps of the Supreme Court Building from the show Law and Order...

I love NYC. Im was really greatful to get the opportunity to march from this Square to the government offices in solidarity with the eviction moratoriums.

They need to take better care of the African burial ground memorial. Its fading.Nice area. Visit Story corps and have your story recorded. Skateboarders are always around. They film out here often too.

Nice peaceful little park by courts.

Quiet park in front of the court house. Not a ton of nature and not a place to people watch but for an afternoon stroll while on jury duty, its the place to be.

Foley Square (The finest park in New York, the villain of the park is all its classrooms)

Small but beautiful park, there a lot of restaurants close and the area is very nice.

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.

Although the site is historical, it would improve quality of life if there were public restrooms usable at all times with an effective maintenance team.

A city treasure. It has witnessed many activities for freedom and justice.

Very enjoyable yet peacefully accessible for all the diverse people families and children of the world

Very beautiful place with an incredible view of the city.

Must visit place, for history bluffs or just to see the place where many movies and tv shows were filmed. Another kind of history...time goes on.

I work right across the street from the shiz-nit, sooooo....

Cute park. Very much like the words The true administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good government., perfect spot to sit

Plenty of room to walk around and take selfies or whatever. Because the pedestrian walkway is wide open people will not say anything or give you a weird look should you walk and stop. So enjoy looking at the beautiful architecture of the old buildings. Just pee first as there is no public restroom anywhere.

Area is nice and clean. The pedestrian walkway is wide and the people walking by dont give you a hard time should you get in their way by stopping to take a picture or admiring the architecture of the surrounding building, as they are beautiful.

Never a dull moment at this Square: from people watching to demonstrations to movie shoots, something is always going on there.

The square is nearly completely surrounding by courthouses. A pretty impressive hub of judicial power! Considering the numerous high profile cases that have cycled through Foley Square, I found it to be an impressive place.

I just walk thought to get to subway

Clean and easy to navigate

A love this place, yeah it is a small park but still clean and great view. There are a lot of people but the atmosphere is relaxing and you can hang out there in your break. There are a lot of places where you can find food and interesting drinks. The location is amazing.

Everything around here was so well constructed I couldnt help but take pictures

I love this place, and beautiful.

Came to see my daughter do a performance for Summer Street. Very spacious area and right in front of the courthouse. The water fountain added a good background for after photos.

On a nice day. Its a great place to visit

Foley square is a place where people gather to make political statements You meet friendly people with same like minds having great conversations about community and politics

Very nice park, lots of old, still active courthouses. Short walk to Chinatown and Little Italy.

An Australian in New York, what an amazing experience. I absolutely loved it here especially on Sunday as its not as crowded and gives you enough spaces to explore the towering buildings that occupy this area. Packed with government buildings, high-end shops, restaurants, cafés and enough public spaces to sit and people watch. Foley Square, one reads about it but the icing on the top is to explore and mingle with locals and visitors alike and soak in the ambience of this famous Square.

The activists were cool

Small but the crowd in there was warm and ready to walk the Brooklyn Bridge on Jan 5.

I loved how peaceful it was, rather tranquil and calm with the bus of city life, but still a place you can just sit down in the benches and admire the views.

Great day out all you see on telly.

In the crossroads of the mighty American judicial system, its definitely a site to see! From the Federal building, to our pillars of justice of the state supreme courts and other governmental institutions, a 360 view of America in action!

Great place to gather for marches and protests., though I dont recommend going in winter. The tall buildings create wind funnels which make it frigid.

Best place for pictures

This park always is in need of cleaning due to people relieving themselves in this park. Not a very relaxing park due to the constant demonstrations and political gatherings. No need to visit this park unless you are attending a rally or demonstration. Otherwise just keep walking.

Its a great place to visit and to enjoy lunch. I see it on lots of the crime shows on tv

Englishman in New York! Nice place to stop for a little sit and people watch. It sits in a hub of activity and will have you in awe of by simply staying still in Manhattan for 10 minutes you are awakened in how focus the average person is in their passion and sadly not the people around them ... Try the 10 minute challenge and change you a little bit of you today. All the best!

Great place!

Who doesnt love being there..well for a quick pic at least, then bail

Fun place to hang out with family or friends!

Love this place of youre into the law

You can walk around and see nice scenes.

I ️ the location

Great place to relax a bit, during an NYC visit. very quiet during Sundays

I had friends over from Ireland for a week at St. Patricks Day. Walking from the Brooklyn Bridge to Chinatown for dinner, I showed them the Federal Building and Foley Square where so many police and court TV dramas plus movies use for outdoor location filming. I showed them the courthouse steps at 60 Center St where Bulls Michael Weatherly had his famous heart attack. They saw that episode and were thrilled to be there. Its great to be a New Yorker and show off your hometown!

Good spot for assembly of the people.

I’ll keep it simple. Ate off the smoothie cart and was in near death mode for 3 days. Food poisoning. Don’t eat off the smoothie cart.They have a guy there that sells the most ridiculously oversized doughnuts you’ve ever seen. The other vendors are perfectly fine.Cool atmosphere. Totally New Yorker lunch area.Other than the assassination attempt on my life by the smoothie guy it’s all good.

So Nice Location and very quick services

Touring Manhattan, we had to see downtown where all the government buildings are! Beautiful architecture, but they need better ways for the disabled to get around. It is a challenge to your this city because of that.

By the courthouses in lower Manhattan. Good place to wait to go into court i guess. Always clean.

Beautiful scenery

Great place and nice nature.

I took a stroll over here after walking the Brooklyn Bridge. The buildings are beautiful! It was also fun to see as I love the show Law & Order and it is routinely filmed here.

The corner of truth!

Nice view of the courts.

Small park in the financial district. Street foods are available.

You can hear the Law and Order sound effect DUN DUN from anywhere in Foley Square across the street from the Courthouse. We were at the Lights for Liberty rally here Friday night. Genuine New York.

NO WAR WITH IRAN! 01/09/20

Summer streets 2019 it was fun

I usually see this park from my work window

This is the center of the Federal Plaza in downtown New York, but it is falling apart. The lights dont come on when its dark, the brickwork and cast sections of the walkways are crumbling and broken and no one cares. They dont even acknowledge why the place is falling apart. Its because it is a parking lot for news vans whenever there is a celebrity at the courthouse...which is weekly these days. It has become s skate park for skateboarders to destroy ss they grind the fountain.

Statue looks kinda like a middle finger, other than that great place

Old manhole covers...nice 9/11 graffiti inside court & chi wara is nearby

Beautiful place to relax during lunch

Rally against hate. Who can hate that?

Cant remenber this place.

Beautiful park. Good views of Wall street Court houses Brooklyn Bridge

Beautiful park in the Civic district

Its a great place located in New York. Its om the way to the Brooklyn bridge and also in the viscinity of New World Trade centre.A great architecture and must be seen if you are in New York.

My second time visiting this spot it fills good to be in new york

A GREAT PLACE FOR SOCIALIZING. LOTS OF FUN PLACES TO VISIT AND GO SHOPPING.MORE INSIGHTS LATER.E.G.N.Y.C.

Always a nice walk when there is no construction.

Foley Square is a lovely park amongst Federal Court houses. Lots of Mom & Pop eateries frequented by the legal community who work there as well as tourists and serving jurists doing their civic duty. The buildings are breathtaking, the architect remenicent of true artisans, the chiseled quotes on JUSTICE is food for thought. Sadly there are many indigent people sleeping on the park benches, deficating, tossing garbage and stinking up the area of the park. The Mayor needs to find out who these people are...assess the situation and fix the problem. It is unfortunate that the streets of NYC are looking very much like Los Angeles. Its a disgrace and taints the beauty of the greatest city in the world. Action is needed.

Nice place to people watch. They’ve been filming here a lot lately. Surprisingly not too many tourists here.

A peace of mind

Great place for a demonstration. You can see all the courts and all that stuff. A couple hundred years ago this was wetlands.

Nice place to hang out. Clean and tons of restaurants. Very close to China town and Broadway Street. Subway is available for green and brown lines. Four stops away from the south ferry which you can ride it for free to see the statue of liberty

The most beautiful square on earth.

Recommended them they are really did a great job.

Kids showed up on September 20th to demand change. #climatestrike

Americans who built NYC dreamed of reconstructing Roman Empire. These structures manifest their ideas and dreams.

Love Foley Square. Protest capital!

Nice Place There is many old buildings they create a historical style of city i get selfies there but i find that there is no rest room for peoples

My kinda place. Neat and clean

Its ok

Was there for the protest..protecting our planet.

The history of this place and the fact that it is in the middle of all the courthouses makes it a premiere backdrop for social justice causes like the womens march and immigrant rights.

Is a street intersection and green space in the Civic Center neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City and – by extension – the surrounding area, which is dominated by civic buildings. The space is bordered by Worth Street, Centre Street and Lafayette Street and lies between City Hall and Canal Street, near Manhattans Chinatown and east of TriBeCa. It was named after a prominent Tammany Hall district leader and local saloon owner, Thomas F. Big Tom Foley (1852–1925).

Nice ambience

Always something happening... if not a movie shooting ... another New Yorkers public political demonstration!

Its a great space for protest. I love the sculpture in the center.

Amazing Place

Awesome place to hang out and sit

Nice little park with a statue in it too many birds though if you dont like birds not the place to be
