Albert Capsouto Park

Albert Capsouto Park is a triangular green space in Tribeca bounded by multiple streets, featuring landscaped gardens, walking paths, and distributed seating throughout. The layout creates several zones where visitors can sit, observe street life, or simply spend time.

The park was created in 2002 on the grounds of a former industrial site, marking a shift in Tribeca's transformation. This conversion reflected broader changes reshaping the neighborhood from industrial use to residential development.

The park bears the name of Albert Capsouto, a community board member whose work shaped public spaces in the neighborhood. His legacy reflects how individual citizens can influence the transformation of urban areas.

The park is conveniently located near several subway stations and bus stops, making it easy to reach. Most areas are flat and accessible, with seating distributed throughout for resting.

The park features plant selections specifically chosen to attract urban bees and other pollinators to the area. This design approach merges recreation with environmental support, creating a space that benefits both people and local wildlife.
