Description: "Christopher Park is located in the heart of Greenwich Village. 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."

Description: "We envision an adaptive reuse park that captures the eclectic vibrancy of Williamsburg, Brooklyn and honors its history by breathing new life into the site's rich industrial fabric. The idea for Maker Park springs from an awareness that our waterfront heritage is being wiped away at alarming speed and the fact that parks have the potential to be more than one-dimensional green spaces. Maker Park is posed to achieve the acute community need for green open space while also serving as a dynamic, interactive and educational public space that unites a neighborhood."
