Gorman Park, Urban park in Washington Heights, Manhattan, US
Gorman Park spans 1.89 acres between Broadway and Wadsworth Terrace, featuring elevation changes from 120 to 210 feet connected by stone stairs and paths.
Charles Webb donated the land to New York City in 1929 following the death of his wife Gertie Emily Gorman, leading to a five-year dispute over her estate.
The upper plaza of the park serves as a connecting point between different neighborhoods, reflecting the integrated nature of Washington Heights community structures.
Due to infrastructure concerns since 2017, only the upper section remains accessible, while the rest of the park awaits comprehensive repairs and restoration.
The park's dramatic 90-foot elevation difference requires specialized engineering solutions for stability, contributing to ongoing maintenance challenges and restoration complexities.
