Carl Schurz Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Schurz Park is a 14.9 acre (60,000 m²) public park in New York City, named for Carl Schurz in 1910, at the edge of Yorkville, overlooks the waters of Hell Gate, and is the site of Gracie Mansion, the residence of the Mayor of New York since 1942. The FDR Drive passes underneath the park in a half-tunnel that leaves the roadway exposed only on the side facing the East River.
