The TSP3A was formed in response to a common problem experienced by parents whose children use Tompkins Square Park: If something in our park is in need of repair or better maintenance, we were told to call 311. Many months would go by before any remedial action was taken, even if the condition is dangerous. Now that we speak with one voice on behalf of hundreds of parents, and we fight our battles wisely and strategically, WE GET ACTION AND WE GET RESULTS! It is unfortunate that a parents’ association is needed to ensure our park is well taken care of, but it is, so the TSP3A exists. Simply by lending your support as a member, we can make a big difference – and the more members we have, the greater our influence will be. To join, please send an email expressing your interest, along with your name and preferred email, to TSP3A@yahoo, and please become a fan of this page! Please note: Only parents of children below the age of 13 who use Tompkins Square Park will be permitted to join the TSP3A.

As a Great Commission church, we strive to empower world missions by sharing the Gospel and expanding God's Kingdom locally and globally. To this end, we help each member establish firm and purpose-driven lives and families. Through various ministries and fellowships, our members connect with one another based on their respective life stages, such as Children, Youth, Single, Married Couples and the Elderly. Through these dynamic relationships, each fellowship, small group, worship service and systematic Bible study actively engage, challenge and support the growth and health of each member.

It is the purpose of the Dias y Flores Garden to provide a green, beautiful, restful, safe and congenial space for gardeners to garden and for the community to enjoy. The garden will be open to the community as often as possible and will also serve as a public space for community meetings and other community functions. In Addition, we are also committed to maintaining and growing our associations with neighbourhood organizations, from local schools to health clinics and encourage their use of the garden. We also offer many series of free classes through the summer from tai chi and yoga to horticulture, drawing, painting, writing, ecology and herbal sciences.

The Lowline, formally known as the Delancey Underground, is a proposal for the world's first underground park in the New York City borough of Manhattan that would be located under the eastbound roadway of Delancey Street on the Lower East Side, in the former Williamsburg Bridge Trolley Terminal adjacent to the Essex Street station. Co-founders James Ramsey and Dan Barasch have suggested natural light would be directed below ground using a system that has been described in the proposed plan as "remote skylights", providing an area in which trees and grass could be grown beneath city streets. Light collectors would be placed at ground level or on surrounding rooftops, with suggested locations, including the median on Delancey Street. Artificial lighting would be used to supplement the redirected sunlight on cloudy days and at night. The area, with ceilings high, extends three blocks east from Essex Street to Clinton Street and was used until 1948 as a station and balloon loop for streetcars crossing the Williamsburg Bridge to and from Brooklyn. R. Boykin Curry IV is the third urban entrepreneur behind the proposal.

New York Theatre Ballet was founded in 1978 by its artistic director, Diana Byer. It is the most widely seen chamber ballet company in the United States. “New York Theatre ballet confirms its status as an invaluable company,” says Alastair Macaulay of the New York Times. (April 2010) NYTB has earned national acclaim for its restoration and revival of small masterworks by great choreographers and for its innovative hour-long ballets based on children’s literature. NYTB tours its programs both nationally and abroad. Audiences know the Company for its theatrical expressiveness, high production quality, and intimate accessibility to every audience member. For 37 years, NYTB has produced, for adult and family audiences, dozens of classic masterpieces and contemporary ballets. Its roster includes dances by Frederick Ashton, Merce Cunningham, Agnes de Mille, José Limón and Antony Tudor. NYTB has appeared with The New York Pops at Carnegie Hall to sold out audiences and has performed at dance venues such as Jacob’s Pillow, Kaatsbaan and New York’s City Center.

Community Healthcare Network (CHN) is a not-for-profit organization that provides access to affordable, quality, culturally competent and comprehensive community-based primary care, mental health care and social services for diverse populations in underserved communities throughout New York City. CHN serves more than 75,000 individuals a year who would otherwise have little or no access to critical health care (40% are uninsured, 50% receive Medicaid, over 75% have incomes below the federal poverty level, and no one is ever turned away). CHN is composed of 11 federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and one mobile unit. CHN is Joint Commission accredited, a Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home and recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance for high-quality and well-managed diabetes care. CHN emphasizes holistic care through high quality medical services that coordinate care to treat a person’s whole mind and body. Since its inception, CHN has grown tremendously in response to such social crises as unequal distribution of medical care, adolescent pregnancy, AIDS, inner city poverty and homelessness. More than 96% of CHN’s patients are people of color, with 46% identifying as African-American/Caribbean, 49% as Hispanic, and 1% as Asian-American. A large number of CHN's patients are immigrants and the working poor. The organization is affiliated with the New York-Presbyterian Healthcare System and maintains a special relationship with the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation.

The Organic Soul Café is an extension of the Community Supported Agriculture program. The Café began serving dinners in 2009 to show members how to create simple, healthy, delicious meals with their weekly shares of produce. The meals are prepared and served by a team of volunteers, making use of produce from the day's CSA pick-up. Volunteers learn to prepare fruits and vegetables that they may have never seen before. The Café is open, serving delicious, organic, farm-to-table dinners, on select Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and dishes are reasonably priced, making the Organic Soul Café the best deal for organic food in the neighborhood!
