Washington Square Park is a 9.75acre public park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. One of the best known of New York City's 1,900 public parks, it is a landmark as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.The Park is an open space, dominated by the Washington Square Arch at the northern gateway to the park, with a tradition of celebrating nonconformity. The Park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots for residents and tourists. Most of the buildings surrounding the park now belong to New York University, but many have at one time served as homes and studios for artists. Some of the buildings have been built by NYU while others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings.Location and featuresLocated at the foot of Fifth Avenue, the park is bordered by Washington Square North (Waverly Place east and west of the park), Washington Square East (University Place north of the park), Washington Square South (West 4th Street east and west of the park), and Washington Square West (MacDougal Street north and south of the park).

What began in the late 1990 as the Campaign for the New Madison Square Park, a public-private partnership that raised $6 million in public and private funds to redesign the ailing park, is now Madison Square Park Conservancy, a not-for-profit organization committed solely to preserving, protecting and programming one of New York City’s most beloved jewel box parks. Madison Square Park, a seven-acre urban oasis, is located in the heart of Manhattan’s Flatiron District at 23rd Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues. The Conservancy raises the funds that support lush and brilliant horticulture, park maintenance, park security and a variety of free cultural programs for all ages. Through a public-private partnership with the City of New York Parks Department, the Conservancy funds approximately 98% of the cost of park maintenance and 100% of the cost of security and cultural programs. The cost of operating the Park and its programs exceeds $3 million annually. Media coverage credits the Conservancy’s work with fueling the resurgence of the Flatiron District and Madison Square neighborhood.

El edificio Flatiron, originalmente edificio Fuller, es un rascacielos centenario situado en Manhattan. Era uno de los edificios más altos de Nueva York cuando finalizó su construcción en el año 1902. Recibió su nombre oficial de George A. Fuller, fundador de la empresa constructora que financió la obra y que había fallecido en el 1900.El Flatiron se encuentra en una manzana triangular, limitada al sur por la Calle 22, al oeste por la Quinta Avenida y al este por Broadway. Estas dos últimas calles confluyen delante del edificio con la Calle 23, a la altura de Madison Square. El vecindario que lo rodea recibe el nombre de distrito Flatiron en su honor.El Fuller es un hito histórico nacional de los Estados Unidos desde el 29 de junio de 1989.ArquitecturaEl edificio de estilo Beaux Arts fue diseñado por el arquitecto de la escuela de Chicago Daniel Burnham. Al igual que una columna clásica griega, su fachada de caliza y terracota está dividida horizontalmente en tres partes. El uso del acero en su construcción permitió que la obra alcanzase los 87 m de altura, lo que habría sido muy difícil empleando las técnicas habituales de la época.

Abingdon Square Park is located in the New York City borough of Manhattan in Greenwich Village. The park is bordered by Eighth Avenue, Bank Street, Hudson Street and West 12th Street.Abingdon Square Park is one of New York City's oldest parks, and at 0.25acre, one of it smallest. It is maintained by the Abingdon Square Conservancy, a community-based park association, in cooperation with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.New York City acquired the land on which the park resides on April 22, 1831, and it was enclosed with a cast iron fence in 1836. In the 1880s, an effort was initiated by Mayor Abram Stevens Hewitt to expand public access to parks. Architect Calvert Vaux was part of a group that created a new design for Abingdon Square.The square was part of a 300acre estate purchased by Sir Peter Warren in 1740. Abingdon Square was named for a prominent eighteenth century area resident, Charlotte Warren, who married Englishman Willoughby Bertie, the 4th Earl of Abingdon and received the land as a wedding gift from her father. Although most explicitly British place names in Manhattan were altered after the Revolutionary War, Abingdon Square retained its name due to the well-known patriotic sympathies of Charlotte and the Earl.

The garden was created in 1978 by Hell's Kitchen residents who cleared out the rubble from a long-vacant lot and began planting it with flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. The garden is organized into two main sections. There is a Front Garden and a Back Garden. The Front Garden is open to the public, key holders as well as visitors who may ask to be let in if the gate is closed. When visiting the garden, please respect our rules, posted on the front bulletin board. The Clinton Community Garden, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization managed by a steering committee composed of gardeners elected at our annual membership meeting held the first Tuesday in March. Check the bulletin board for exact time, location, and date. The garden is licensed by the New York City Parks Department through GreenThumb and is open to key holders from approximately post-sunrise to pre-sunset 365 days a year, depending upon weather, darkness, and time of year*. All gardening and maintenance is done by volunteers. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation in support of this garden, please send your check to: Clinton Community Garden, P.O. Box 214, New York, NY 10108-0214.

DeWitt Clinton Park is on the far western edge of Hell's Kitchen. Originally the site of two productive farmsteads, the city acquired it for parkland in 1910 and transformed it into New York's first children's teaching garden for local underprivileged youth. At least a decade ago local volunteers saw opportunities for restoring the untended 14 foot green strip that forms a U around the perimeter of the park and surrounds the playing fields. It is forested with regularly spaced mature London Plane trees. The 50 yard long Rose Garden grows within the northeast corner of this green buffer. This spring we have added lupines, poppies, columbine, black eyed susans, Scottish thistle and phlox.
