Here’s a video that describes the FDR Four Freedoms Park in glowing terms.

My reaction to the video – what a bunch of crap. Take a walk/bike/drive over to Hunters Point South Waterfront Park right across the East River from Roosevelt Island to see a magnificent newly opened park with welcoming open play space for adults, kids and families Image From Weiss/Manfredi as well as a casual waterfront cafe and big comfortable seating Image From Weiss/Manfredi intended for its local community

to enjoy. Roosevelt Island could have had a park like Hunters Point South.

Instead we have a cemetery masquerading as a Park called Four Freedoms. How sad.
