Overview
In English and German (German see below / Deutsch siehe unten)
This popular park in the middle of the East Village is a perfect centerpiece for its eclectic neighborhood, which houses artists, radicals, fashion lovers, and those who have lived in the neighborhood for decades and witnessed its many changes. The performances hosted by the park are as unique as its visitors: the annual lineup includes the outdoor drag festival Wigstock, the Howl Festival commemorating Allen Ginsberg, and the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival. Along with its excellent people-watching, the park is equipped with two playgrounds, a handball court, chess tables, and a basketball court. The park is home to several monuments, including the Temperance Memorial Fountain (1888), the Samuel S. Cox monument (1891), the Slocum Memorial Fountain (1906), several memorial plaques, and the Ukrainian-American Flagstaff (1942), which was donated by the Ukrainian Production Unit of the American Red Cross. Tompkins Square Park continues to serve a diverse community, providing a peaceful, meditative environment within the bustle of city life.

Dieser berühmte Park inmitten des East Village ist ein perfekter Treffpunkt für seine vielseitige Nachtbarschaft, welche sich sowohl aus Künstlern, Radikalen, Modeliebhabern, als auch aus Langzeitansässigen, die Zeugen großer Veränderungen sind, zusammenstellt. Die Aufführungen des Parks sind genauso einzigartig wie seine Besucher: Die alljährliche Palette beinhaltet das unter freiem Himmel stattfindende Drag Festival Wigstock, das Howl Festival zum Gedenken an Allen Ginsberg und das Charlie Parker Jazz Festival. Neben der exzellenten Möglichkeit einfach nur Menschen zu beobachten, ist der Park mit zwei Spielplätzen, einem Handballplatz, Schachtischen und einem Basketballplatz ausgestattet. Der Park ist das Zuhause mehrerer Denkmäler, davon dem Temperance Memorial Brunnen (1888), dem Samuel S. Cox Denkmal (1891), dem Slocum Memorial Brunnen (1906), mehrerer Gedenktafeln und dem ukrainisch-amerikanischen Fahnenmast (1942), welcher von der ukrainischen Produktionseinheit des amerikanischen roten Kreuzes gespendet wurde. Tompkins Square Park wird auch weiterhin der vielfältigen Gemeinde ein friedvolles, meditatives Umfeld inmitten der Hektik des Stadtlebens bieten.
