Yes, it is... Like NYGuy said, you need to get passes. They are free though, but you can make a donation to the park if you like. They give you directions on how to get to the park... you pretty much have to walk thru a maze to get there. Lol. It opened to the 9/11 families on 9/11/11 then opened to the public the next day (9/12).
If you know you're going back to NYC again, book your reservations ASAP. Passes go quickly!
They also have a 9/11 Memorial shop on (I believe) West St, which is easily found after you exit the park itself. The proceeds of anything you buy there goes straight to the park, and you can make donations there too as well.
