Points of interest

The park is home to The Monoglobe and Liberty State Pavillion Towers.

Influences

Meadows Park is based on Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, New York. Its Monoglobe is a replica of the Unisphere, while the Pavillion Towers are obviously supposed to be the New York State Pavilion.

Transport

The Liberty City Subway does not stop at Meadows Park, even though it runs along half of the perimeter of the park, even cutting through it at one point. However, Huntington Street station, in Cerveza Heights, is only a very short distance away from Meadows Park and may be used by its residents.
