Washington Square Park, Urban park in Greenwich Village, US

The 9.75-acre Washington Square Park features a central fountain, an arch at its northern entrance, chess tables, and multiple gathering spaces for visitors.

The land transformed from a Native American settlement to a potter's field in 1797, where over 20,000 people were buried during yellow fever epidemics.

The park functions as a center for artists, musicians, and performers, connecting with New York University's campus and maintaining Greenwich Village's artistic character.

Visitors can reach the park using A, C, E, B, D, F trains to West 4th Street station or N, R trains to 8th Street station.

The Stanford White-designed marble arch, constructed in 1892, stands 77 feet tall and marks the end of Fifth Avenue at the park's northern entrance.
