Bartholdi Park

The Park was created in 1932 and named for Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the historic fountain located at its center. The beds in the Park were geometrically arranged and planted in formal classical style to feature the fountain and to accommodate public gatherings.

Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi (August 2, 1834 – October 4, 1904) was a French sculptor. He is also known as Amilcar Hasenfratz. The work for which he is most famous is the Statue of Liberty located on Liberty Island (owned by New York but physically on the New Jersey side of the New York Harbor).
