Not to be confused with the actor Robert Wagner, this park pays homage to former NYC deputy mayor, Robert F. Wagner Jr. It's located in Lower Manhattan, just west of Battery Park. The park provides great views of the Hudson River, New Jersey, the Statue of Liberty and it serves as an entryway to the manmade enclave of Battery Park City. A couple of other highlights in the park are the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the Skyscraper Museum.
Hudson Park
Soho Square is a small plaza that sits on the border of the eponymous trendy neighborhood and the Village. This park is one of many along Sixth Avenue (no self-respecting New Yorker, calls it Avenue of the Americas), that pay homage to South American revolutionary heroes. Soho Square presents the one that honors Uruguayan patriot and statesman, José Gervasio Artigas. It's a small park, but it provides a nice place of respite when traversing Soho to the West Village.
