Take a walk around this amazing neighborhood . Facing the park is St. George's Episcopal Church , one of the finest examples of Romanesque Revival Architecture in the US. OR just listen to the birds.
Children from nearby schools often roam free in Stuyvesant Square, and it sits just opposite Friends Meeting House and Seminary. Nearby landmarked houses keep this park feeling rustic .
Please note that this dog run is closed weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It’s a fairly large dog run with plenty of benches and shade trees .
Small tranquil park planted on the edge of Gramercy. Perfect for hanging out on warm days, sipping on coffee , getting lost in the pages of a book or just if you want the semblance of being in nature!
Cool place to have lunch , read books , or watch squirrels.
peaceful , regardless of season. bring a snack .
It's a charming, though small park . It's definitely worth a re-route if you're in the area.
Empty, several benches , and quiet . I'm glad not a lot of people pass through here, makes it all the more beautiful.
The Park is beautiful and surrounded by churches , temples , and meeting houses.
A great alternative to the always crowded and noisy Union Square.
Pretty and quiet park that is never really crowded and in the midst of a historic district
This is a peaceful location when high school students aren’t smoking...
Beautiful park - great for taking pictures
Nice park , but if you're on the outside ring of benches beware of the crazies...
East park is sketchier than the west park . You won't get caught doing crap in the east park though. West park during the school week has all sorts of kids in it.
