Andrew Haswell Green Park
Manhattan, United States
Andrew Haswell Green Park is a 1.98-acre (0.80 ha) public park located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Named after Andrew Haswell Green, the park runs along the East River from East 60th to 63rd streets and forms part of the East River Greenway. It occupies the site of a former heliport and waste transfer station, the latter of which was converted into an open-air pavilion in 1994. The establishment of the waterfront park was approved by the City Council in 2006, following a recommendation in a plan for the revitalization of the area around the Queensboro Bridge prepared by the local community board.
