Yeah, there's this little thing called Central Park in Manhattan. Boy, so much valuable real estate given up for grass and trees. Unthinkable!
Sorry, but aside from that beautiful island of parkland, there's not much greenery or park space in Manhattan. If just considered that, the memorial is a welcome addition to the island.
It looks like there's a fair amount of trees there. In fact, the two square "holes" with the water cascading down on all sides do not, as popularly assumed, represent the footprints of the towers. Those footprints are represented by lines of oak trees (mere saplings now), positioned a considerable distance further out.
