Tompkins Square Park, Public park in East Village, Manhattan, US
The 10.5-acre green space features basketball courts, playgrounds, a dog run, and a skate park between Avenue A and Avenue B.
The park opened in 1834 on former salt marshes and meadows, following a land donation from Peter Gerard Stuyvesant in 1829.
The park hosts the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival, community music events, and weekly food distributions by Food Not Bombs organization.
Visitors can access the park through the First Avenue subway station, with entrances on East 7th Street and East 10th Street.
