Hudson River Park’s Memorial
Park · New York, NY
About
Unlike most monuments that stand as single objects, this memorial is nine modified boulders arranged in a circle. It was unveiled during New York City Pride in 2018. The design incorporates views of Christopher Street pier and the Statue of Liberty, two symbols of the equality movement. It honors both the 49 victims of the Pulse shooting in Orlando in June 2016 and Greenwich Village's deep LGBTQ history.
The memorial sits in the Greenwich Village stretch of Hudson River Park, with the Gay Liberation Monument and Stonewall National Monument a short walk away. There's no admission fee or set hours since it's in a public park. Go early morning or at sunset for quieter reflection.
