ABOUT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT FOUR FREEDOMS PARK
Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park is the first memorial dedicated to President Roosevelt in his home state of New York, and the most significant presidential memorial located outside of Washington D.C. The four-acre Park, which sits on the southern tip of Roosevelt Island, is designed by modern architect Louis Kahn and is widely regarded as an architectural masterpiece. The memorial celebrates the ideals expressed in FDR’s Four Freedoms Speech and his vision for a better world: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Since opening in 2012, Four Freedoms Park has welcomed more than 750,000 visitors from around the world.
