Drumgoole Plaza is a public park that sits in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan, New York City, on Frankfort Street between Park Row and Gold Street, and next to the main building of Pace University at One Pace Plaza. Opened on November 5, 2003, the park is maintained by Pace under the management of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.Drumgoole Plaza was the first of the 13 public open spaces renovated or created with funds from Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to revitalize Lower Manhattan after the September 11 attacks. The Department of Parks & Recreation and Pace University transformed an empty lot into a sitting area with 1964 New York World's Fair benches, colorful decorative paving, granite and concrete curbs, and streetlights for public safety and to illuminate the bridge structure. The landscaping includes more than 20 new trees, including goldenrains, honey locusts and hollies; 1,100 shrubs; perennials; and ornamental grasses such as winter hazel, hydrangea, blue star, and striped ribbon grass. The park’s fall hues are Pace colors: blue flowers and gold-edged leaves. Nets keep birds away.

Church Street est une rue courte, mais très fréquentée de Lower Manhattan, à New York. Elle est délimitée par Canal Street (qui lui est perpendiculaire) au nord, et est prolongée par Trinity Place au sud. Trinity Place débouche quant à elle sur le Battery Park au sud, en passant à l'ouest de Trinity Church qui a donné leurs noms aux deux axes. Church Street constitue la partie sud de la frontière est du World Trade Center, et est rejointe par l'extrémité sud de la Sixième Avenue à quelques blocks de Canal Street. En particulier, le prolongement de Church Street et de la Sixième Avenue, toutes deux à sens unique constitue un axe majeur de communication entre Lower Manhattan et Central Park.L'IND Eighth Avenue Line, ligne souterraine du métro de New York circule sous Church Street entre Liberty Street et la Sixième Avenue, de même qu'une portion de la BMT Broadway Line. La station de Cortlandt Street, fermée suite aux attentats du 11 septembre 2001 et adjacente au World Trade Center y est située.
