Description

Der Washington Square Park zählt zu den bekanntesten der über 1700 öffentlichen Parkanlagen in New York City. Gelegen zwischen Greenwich Village und East Village an der New York University umfasst die Anlage eine Fläche von 3,95 Hektar.

Von 1797 an diente das Gebiet als öffentlicher Begräbnisplatz. 1823 wurde das Gelände zum Park erklärt. Die Straßen um den Park herum wurden ab den 1830er Jahren zu einer bevorzugten Wohngegend. Ab 1869/1870 erfolgte eine landschaftliche Umgestaltung der formalen Anlage durch Ignaz Pilat, zusammen mit dem Ingenieur Montgomery Alexander Kellogg. Es war eines der ersten Umgestaltungsprojekte des 1870 gegründeten „Department of Public Parks“ , dessen leitender Landschaftsplaner Pilat war.
