Description: "From five pioneering gardeners, the 6th Ave. & 15th Street Community Garden was created in 1994.

Description: "Currently, multiple agencies are accountable for managing New York City’s public realm ... We need a new way to integrate our thinking on these critical areas. Our public spaces are better when we think about them together. APSL proposed creating a new Office of the Public Realm that would have a role in decision-making around public works projects, maintenance of the public realm, and the design and function of public space. We enthusiastically support the Mayor’s announcement to create this critical position. New York needs this citywide facilitation to foster effective coordination, allowing individual departments and agencies to do their best work to ensure we all have equitable access to space and resources."

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."
