(“washington square park” is a 9.75-acre (39,500 m2) public park in the ‘greenwich village’ neighborhood of ‘lower manhattan NYC’)

(one of the best known of new york city’s 1,900 public parks, it is a landmark as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity)

(it is operated by the new york city department of parks and recreation)

(the park is an open space, dominated by the ‘Washington Square Arch’ at the northern gateway to the park, with a tradition of celebrating nonconformity)

(the park’s fountain area has long been one of the city’s popular spots for residents and tourists)

(most of the buildings surrounding the park now belong to NYU, but many have at one time served as homes and studios for artists)

(some of the buildings have been built by NYU while others have been converted from their former uses into ‘academic’ + ‘residential’ buildings)
