    I'm glad for this park .Clean and medium size park .I find it perfect to get a fresh air or read your book or a just to relaxing . It's kids friendly and lot of greenery. People are friendly and quiet. Statue a Peter Stuyvesant director- general . I recommend it to anyone who want a quite time or a break in the middle of a busy day of work. The only need a public restroom…

    This place is a great public park! 🏞️ Stuyvesant Square Park is a nice green 🌳 spot in NYC 🗽 that has lots of picnic 🧺 tables (some are even wheelchair ♿ friendly) and benches! Perfect place to wind down and relax 😌 in the middle of the city! 🏙️ I wish I came here more often!

    A hidden gem in NYC. Very peaceful, clean and serene. Never that busy. It’s a nice little getaway.

    An incredible enclave of peace and tranquillity. Two parks next to each other each with a distinct feeling. One with a statue of former Gov of the Dutch Colony Peter Stuyvesant— for who the park is named (give him a search, a very interesting character). Events pop up in the park including music, stargazing, and dancing. Tables are on the west side version to sit and eat or play a card game. Overall one of my favorite places to be in nyc.

    I really love Stuyvesant Park. It is a beautiful little oasis of nature in the East Village. It is definitely a community space. It is a wonderful place to relax, chill with friends or have a picnic and it's quiet enough to meditate or read a book. This is one of my favorite parks and whether you are walking your dog or jogging... this is truly an all season park for everyone.

    Beautiful park with an awesome Dog Park where doggies can frolic and have fun. Park is nicely maintained and space for dogs is nice and big. Never an issue here and owners seem nice and friendly while also picking up after their dogs.

    Always nice to sit for a bit.

    Nice, clean location. During warmer months, the flowers bloom and there are squirrels, birds, and dogs getting taken on a walk by their owners. It's a very nice, relaxing atmosphere. Good for children, too. It's a pretty small area, and feels like a small park.

  • 5/5 Leza S. 1 year ago on Google
    Much better than Union Square! Much quieter, I can read a book in there and get a decent seat. There's a small dog park oh, and while I'm allergic it actually doesn't bother me. I feel like the air is fresher over there too, possibly because of all the trees.

  • 5/5 Michael E. 10 months ago on Google
    It's a lovely park. I think it's very tranquil with a good mix of sunny and shady spots to sit. I'm usually at the dog park. It's got benches all around the perimeter and a great open space to chase a ball with the dog. The waste bags are always available. The gates have monstrous latches on them so watch your fingers. I don't think there's a restroom anywhere in the park, which is disappointing. All in all I really enjoy this place. In fact it's quiet enough that I can do business calls for work from here. Good data signal on my plan.

    Love taking my golden retriever to this dog park! Clean and good space for him to run around

  • 5/5 Georganne S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite parks in NYC. It is perfect for quietly sitting enjoying the two fountains and garden areas (the park is divided by 2nd Ave) or checking out the friendly neighborhood dog run. Always lovely.

  • 5/5 theannomie 1 year ago on Google
    Great park with a large dog run in an convenient area. Lots of homeless ppl and rats so you have to watch out but hard to find that much space for your dog to play with mature trees and water.

  • 5/5 Julie F. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful oasis in a bustling city.

  • 3/5 Anouar M. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm grateful for this park, since I moved to the area few months ago, I find it perfect to get a fresh air or read your book or a journal. It's kids friendly and lot of greenery. People are super friendly and quiet. I recommend it to anyone who want a quite time or a break in the middle of a busy day of work. I only wish they had a public restroom. And maybe lit make over for the banches. Other than that it's a great spot.

  • 5/5 Carol S. 2 years ago on Google
    My beloved park for 45 years. A haven. It now has a Little Free Library. It also has a fabulous dog run. I'm so lucky to live near it!

  • 5/5 Sergio D. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little historical park. Some people dancing at Night and a Statue of Peter Stuyvesant, governor of New Netherlands I believe.

  • 5/5 Olivia D. 2 years ago on Google
    Came for the Dvorak statue and stayed for the peaceful atmosphere. I was there in the evening and it was mostly empty. Nice place to relax.

  • 5/5 Larry L. 2 years ago on Google
    Undiscovered and very pretty park with large fountain. It’s two identical parks with 2nd Ave bisecting it. Come in the spring, lots of beautiful flowers to enjoy.

  • 5/5 Thomas M. 3 years ago on Google
    Well spent quality time with my girlfriend and best friend. Beautiful views, doggos/doges and friendly park patrons. Had wonderful conversation with a nice young lady who engaged my girlfriend and I equally which is really indicative of a quality individual.

  • 5/5 Lee N. 2 years ago on Google
    It has a bathroom and I was happy for that and the people there were rallying for something nice I guess

  • 5/5 Haiden V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very peaceful but be careful of the baby rat's they don't attack but you see them running around.

  • 5/5 lisa s. 2 years ago on Google
    This park is quiet and beautiful. Much more peaceful than most parks in the area. I went with my small dog and he enjoyed being there and socializing with a few dogs we passed.
