Greenacre Park, Pocket park in Turtle Bay, Manhattan, United States.

The three-level urban park features a 25-foot waterfall constructed from granite blocks, surrounded by mature honey locust trees and seasonal flowers.

Philanthropist Abby Rockefeller Mauzé established Greenacre Park in 1971, transforming three lots that previously contained a store, garage, and synagogue section.

The park demonstrates the integration of natural elements in urban design through its waterfall, plantings, and multiple seating areas for social interactions.

Located between Second and Third Avenues on East 51st Street, the park welcomes visitors daily from 8 AM to 6 PM with staff present.

The park includes heating elements in its steel and acrylic trellis roof, allowing comfortable outdoor seating during cold weather conditions.
