Rob HepplerSeptember 10, 2013The only private park in Manhattan, allows rich people to do homeless people things in the saftey of their own park. Sleep on a bench, defecate behind a fountain. This Urban legend is real.Upvote23Downvote
Lovely park-- well maintained, clean and never crowded. It's a great escape from the city noise and crowds while still being in downtown Manhattan!

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 11, 2021Beautifully manicured and well maintained private park which is only accessible to those who live in the area with a special key. You can also gain access if staying at specific hotels in the areaUpvoteDownvote- DoubleDeuceJanuary 11, 2020The park is rarely open to those without a key. Sometimes, on Christmas Eve, there's children caroling and open doors...but this too can change from year to year.Upvote1Downvote
Rupert PupkinJune 9, 2024The part of Manhattan that's most like London. Many fine 19th & early 20th century houses and apartments surround a private park. Urban plan 1831, Samuel Ruggles.

Camila Rey de CastroJune 27, 2011This is a beautiful park that is a must in New York City.All the buildings around it are historical and you feel like you are in another era. Need a key to go in, but it is seeing it from the outside.UpvoteDownvote- Signs VisualOctober 1, 2015This park is private for the people who reside around that area, and isn't open to the public. However, the sidewalks of the streets around the park is a popular and enjoyable jogging place. Read moreUpvoteDownvote

Cheryl QJuly 13, 2024Private park in the city. You need to live on the park / have keys to get in. Get a cool drink or coffee at Hutch and Waldo while in the neighbourhoodUpvoteDownvote

Stan ChinOctober 24, 2010Pretend you're staying at the Gramercy and Ask the doorman to let you in. Admire the plaques about loving trees in safety as the zombies tear apart the city outside.Upvote6Downvote
