We love SDR Park. Funky, unique, charming, beautiful, humble, anarchic, often dirty, mostly safe, welcoming, wild, frustratingly cluttered with cars & trucks. Never too tidy, never too tamable, built by people for the people’s use. Still an all-comers meeting place – democracy in action – where imaginations can still be unleashed, where attempts to tightly order its chaos are thwarted by the people who use it (and sometimes abuse it), care for it, and consider it theirs.
A quintessential New York City Park.
“When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough” – Fran Lebowitz
