A Court for the Community

Read the story

Ever wonder where the heart of TriBeCa's local energy beats? Head over to Washington Market Park. This isn't just a patch of green; it's a community-driven sanctuary that opened in April 1983.

While it's named after a former major wholesale produce market, today the focus is on health and gathering. The park is packed with activity, featuring basketball and tennis courts for those looking to break a sweat. If you're not in the mood for a match, you can wander through sixty community garden plots.

It's a rare spot in Lower Manhattan where you can find both a competitive game and a quiet garden, all within a one-point-six-one acre urban oasis. Whether you're here for a fast break or a slow stroll, it's a neighborhood priority that keeps the community moving.
