A large beautiful park. And on Friday there is a large Market setup there. With flowers, vegetables, hobey, bread and more.

Small dog park but we'll maintained and clean. Good for smaller dogs due to its space size but very convenient in the downtown city center area by union square subway.

Great park with plenty of lawn space and dynamic urban scenery to surround. impressed by the park's good atmosphere and the range of activities it offers

Park itself is raised above the street level. It provides good viewing for surrounding. Always pack with events or stuff to see. I consider this is the center of the city. Even though park is small and not manicure as Madison park, it does has its own charm. It’s the place to be seen.

Have been coming here for an eternity! Has stores, has atmosphere. The subway takes you pretty much anywhere you want to go as well. Maybe one of my favourite places in NYC.

Great park, but this new rule of “closing the park” at 6pm is a bit silly. There’s even a sign that says the park is open til dusk. Not true. Security comes around and kicks everyone out of their chairs. Hopefully this policy can be changed in the future.

It is a nice park in the middle of the city. There are seats & tables available. There are a lot of homeless which makes the vibe of this park a little sad.

Very nice park I visited before spring but it was still beautiful I will go again in the summer. Very convenient subway stop not far from Washington square Park either. Some absolutely wonderful coffee shops and bakeries and an amazing ceramic store
