La Plaza Cultural, Community garden in East Village, Manhattan, US.
La Plaza Cultural extends over 0.64 acres at East 9th Street and Avenue C, functioning as both a green space and an open-air performance venue.
Local residents and CHARAS members established this garden in 1976 by transforming vacant lots during New York City's financial crisis into a community space.
The garden features an amphitheater designed by Gordon Matta-Clark and maintains several political murals created by Artmakers Inc on its western wall.
The garden incorporates rainwater collection barrels, natural pond filtration, beekeeping facilities, and composting systems to support environmental sustainability.
A geodesic dome constructed with guidance from architect Buckminster Fuller serves as a centerpiece for cultural events and community gatherings.
