Spring Street Park

Spring Street Park is a small urban park near a subway station linking SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown in New York. Benches and tables sit in the shade, and visitors can rest on chairs or a swivel chair while looking at a statue of Uruguayan independence hero José Gervasio Artigas. At lunchtime, students from a nearby school crowd in and seats run short. The park sits between two lanes, so surrounding noise is present and the smell of marijuana is strong.
