Bounded by Grove Street, West 4th Street, and Christopher Street, the park has provided residents and tourists with a place to relax since its founding in 1837. In June 2016, President Obama designated the creation of Stonewall National Monument, based in Christopher Park. Creation of national monument, the first in America to honor the struggle for LGBTQI rights, entailed the transfer of the park from NYC to the National Park Service. Prior to the designation, the park was already included in the Stonewall listing as a National Historic Landmark as it was integral to the Stonewall riots of 1969."
