An unadorned white stone platform serving as a solemn reminder of the country's devastating loss, it is visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year, and a commemorative ceremony is held every November 22. This year's will be the 50th anniversary of the tragedy. Opening Times: Daily 24 hours.

Among noted collections is the Billy R. Allen Folk Art Collection. Through its four vaulted galleries, the Museum fully details African-American art and history from pre-colonial times to the present day, with permanent and temporary exhibitions.

While there have been small pocket parks here and there for years, the downtown area lacked a park where people could spread out a picnic blanket, relax and play. Opening in late 2012, this 5 acres deck park built over the downtown freeway has become exceedingly popular, day and night. Every day, there are park programmes that may include yoga, pilates or boot-camp exercises; knitting circle, mah jong or poetry reading; concerts or plays. On the north side of the park, you will find reading racks and chess tables. If you're a walker or jogger, it's about half a mile around the park's perimeter. Food trucks are frequently parked around the park's edges, offering anything from Vietnamese food to barbecue sandwiches to cupcakes. In late 2013, a new restaurant called Relish & Savor is scheduled to open, with both sit-down and take-out facilities. The park offers free Wi-Fi connectivity, too. Opening Times: Daily 0600-2300.
