IF A GIANT FACILITY CAN RETROFIT FOR WHEELCHAIR ACCESS, SURELY A POSTAGE STAMP SIZED PARK COULD MAKE THIS A FUNDING PRIORITY
Greenacre Park is a privately owned, publicly accessible "vest-pocket" park in Midtown Manhattan.
The urban oasis features a 25-foot
waterfall that masks city noise.
It has a small cafe on East 51st St.
between 2nd-3rd Aves.
Sadly, it does not have ramped access
to the lower waterfall viewing area.
The elevated seating, under a canopy,
that serves the café also is not accessible.
Though it was built before the ADA in
1971, surely this landmarked park could do some simple fundraising to become
inclusive to all locals and visitors.
