Flushing Meadows Corona Park, NYC Photos Gallery - Page 1
One of a number of photos of the Unisphere at Flushing Meadows Park. The Sun glares off this Stainless steel globe.
At Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the Unisphere, a stainless-steel globe above a reflecting pool with fountains. Although you won't see this fountain filled throughout the year it's a beaut with or without it. The 3 orbits encircling the globe signify the paths of artificial satellites. The Unisphere stands 140 feet tall and was presented at the 1964 World's Fair which took place within Flushing Meadows.
