Residents of Greenwich Village got a first look at plans for a large park on the triangle of land that used to be part of St. Vincent’s hospital, DNAinfo reported.

At a recent community board meeting, landscape architect Rick Parisi, of M. Paul Friedberg and Partners, presented the plans for a proposed 15,102-square-foot park with more than 600 seats, 31 trees and 4,861 square feet of plantings on the St. Vincent’s Triangle at Seventh Avenue between Greenwich Avenue and West 12th Street.

Residents had mixed reactions to the park. One said she thought the design was “extremely generic” and that she wanted it to reflect the unique character of the neighborhood. [more]
