NYC Car Rentals and Socrates Sculpture Park
Are you environmentally aware? Is recycling part of your everyday agenda? If you appreciate efforts to help conserve energy and reduce waste, you'll love the idea behind Queens' Socrates Sculpture Park. An abandoned riverside landfill and illegal dumpsite in the '80s, this section of Queens was one of the borough's biggest sore spots. In order to rectify this urban decay, a collation of artists banded together to create an open-air studio and exhibition space for up-and-coming local talent. Today, Socrates Sculpture Park is the only site in New York City dedicated specifically to the exhibition of large-scale art. Customers of The Rental Company NYC Car Rentals are sure to appreciate this revitalized section of the city, so why wait? Plan an artistic getaway to the Socrates Sculpture Park today.
