Project Overview

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park is a four-acre memorial to Franklin D. Roosevelt that celebrates the Four Freedoms he articulated in his 1941 State of the Union address. It is located in New York City at the southernmost point of Roosevelt Island, in the East River between Manhattan Island and Queens.

The team raised the park elevation by about 15 inches to accommodate the rising sea level. The lighting scheme was expanded, as was the tree grid, which grew from 10 by 10 feet to 12 by 15 feet on advice of consulting arborists. We installed all of the plantings, grasses and stone for the project.
