The oldest Park in New York City. Yes the Dutch us...

The oldest Park in New York City. Yes the Dutch used to Bowl here. It was also pastureland. The fence in the park dates back to revolutionary days. When there was a statue of King George in it. When the Declaration of Independence was announced, Patriots in the city tore down the statue and since it was made of lead it was melted down into musket balls. The fence had crowns on the tops of the gate posts. Patriots cut them off. CHECK THIS PARK OUT IN EARLY SPRING WHEN THE FLOWER BEDS AROUND THE FOUNTAIN ARE FILLED WITH RED TULIPS. BEAUTIFUL!!
