Eagle Rock viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

People naturally gathered here to watch and grieve the events of September 11, 2001, so it only makes sense that an evocative memorial to that event was erected here. There are also 400 acres of woodlands to one side of you — when you face them, it almost feels like you could look out over the trees forever.

Eagle Rock September 11 Memorial & View of New York City Skyline

Highlight • Monument

You have an unparalleled view of the New York skyline from here. That might be why this place became a spontaneous gathering place and community memorial after the attacks of September 11, 2001. It also became one of the first formal 9-11 memorials, and remains a poignant community gathering place to this day.
