The lighthouse memorial was dedicated in 1913 to the victims of the Titanic sinking
Titanic Park, a shady open space with a lighthouse monument at Fulton and Water Streets, is undergoing a transformation. As part of the New York City Parks Department program to rejuvenate parks in the Fulton Corridor, the city is moving on designs to renovate the small triangular park.
Summary
The main goal of the reconstruction effort is to make the park more welcoming and usable, according to Lawrence Mauro, Parks Department project manager. Toward that end, the redesign will incorporate bluestone paving set in a wave pattern, a new arrangement of benches, additional trees, boulder seating, and pockets of plantings around the monument native to a tidal zone. A water feature will cross the space diagonally, intended to represent the city's original coastline before the eastern edge was filled in.
