Outside in Greenwich Village

Nine and a half acres with a fountain in the middle and a marble arch at the north end, and on any warm afternoon several musicians working different corners of it at once. The stone chess tables on the southwest side are in use most of the day. It is the closest open ground to every venue on Bleecker Street.

Open daily until midnight, with a 10pm close on Friday, Saturday and Sunday under a curfew introduced in 2021. The playground closes at 6pm from November to March and 9pm from March to October
