America's Most Popular City Parks: Tompkins Square Park

No. 20 Tompkins Square Park, New York City

Decades ago, this 10-acre East Village park was one of Manhattan’s most notorious drug-dealer hangouts; these days, however, it’s a family-friendly oasis of playgrounds, handball courts, and elm-shaded flowerbeds.

Don’t Miss: The lineup of festivals at the park, which includes the Howl Festival (commemorating Allen Ginsberg) and the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival.
