Confirmed from Garden of Reflection's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
A thoughtful 9/11 memorial using trees, water & a spiraling path to inspire quiet contemplation.
What runners say about Garden of Reflection
“It was well maintained and has cycling path and also football ground.”
“Feel free to walk around, enjoy the open green space and take a walk through the beautiful 9/11 Memorial.”
“You have many quiet areas to reflect and remember those who lost their lives that day.”
We visited this stunning public memorial to the 911 victims on July 4. As you enter the memorial, you pass a beam sculpture from the World Trade Center towers.The twin fountains represent the twin towers. The name of each victim is etched into a glass wall that surrounds the fountains.
Peaceful. Lots of fun activities for kids and things to do for adults as well (volleyball, tennis...). Feel free to walk around, enjoy the open green space and take a walk through the beautiful 9/11 Memorial.
A beautiful, moving 9/11 Memorial. It is full of love and heartfelt meaning. The grounds are peaceful and relaxing. The fountain, glass panels and steel beam are all worth seeing. They are great reminders of those we lost. The area is clean. There is parking available. There are also walking trails and a playground.
Very nice place which does a great job honoring those that lost their lives. Worth a quick visit and there’s a nice park and playground, basketball courts and walking trails
