Parking lot and security checkpoint in Manhattan, New York
The World Trade Center Vehicle Security Center and Tour Bus Parking Facility , or simply the Vehicular Security Center (VSC ), is a
secure complex for truck delivery and
underground parking at the
World Trade Center in
Manhattan ,
New York City .
[2]
[3] The entrance to the VSC is located at street-level along the southern edge of the
National September 11 Memorial & Museum on
Liberty Street . The VSC is connected via tunnels that feed the entire 16-acre (65,000 m2 ) WTC complex, linking the security checkpoint at its entrance with the buildings and services at the complex requiring vehicular services. Underground garages provide parking for tenants, visitors, and tour buses.
[4]
Liberty Park , an elevated 1-acre (4,000 m2 ) park, is on the roof of the VSC.
[5]
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church , which was destroyed during the
September 11 attacks , was rebuilt in Liberty Park above the VSC.

In 2010 a ship from the eighteenth century was found during excavation work at the site. The ship, believed to be a Hudson River
sloop , was found just south of where the Twin Towers used to stand, about 20 feet (6.1 m) below the surface.
[8]
Five World Trade Center is planned to be built adjacent to the southern edge of the VSC and Liberty Park, on the site of the former
Deutsche Bank Building .
[9] It was approved in February 2021.
