Emma Lazarus Park (also known as Emma Lazarus Sensory Garden) was founded in the Carrick neighborhood of Pittsburgh in the Spring of 2019, by property owner Shoham Ariel Zober. The park includes several features, such as a mural at its center, by local artist Brian Gonnella, as well as handcrafted tables and a little library created by Master of Creative Reuse Brad Bianchi, originally from Pittsburgh’s South Side.
The Park, as well as the Mural Columbia of Carrick, is dedicated to the life and work of author and immigration activist Emma Lazarus, best known for her poem The New Colossus, the sonnet inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty.
