About Tompkins Square Park
No other park in New York City is quite like Tompkins Square Park. Founded in 1834, the park encompasses 10.5 acres on the island of Manhattan, and is framed by East 7th Street, Avenue A, East 10th Street, and Avenue B. It is adjacent to one of the East Village’s most celebrated streets, St. Marks Place. With its three outstanding playgrounds, internationally noted dog run, handball and basketball courts, ping-pong tables, kids’ swimming pool, and a branch of the New York Public Library (Across East 10th Street), ample grassy areas and gardens, Tompkins Square Park has, for generations, attracted an exceptionally diverse crowd of families, artists, musicians, writers, skaters, students, and others from around the world.
