Greenacre Park Named Endangered Public Space

Greenacre Park, a semi-secret oasis for Midtown Manhattan office workers, was declared an "endangered public space" Thursday by a nonprofit conservation organization.

The Cultural Landscape Foundation, based in Washington D.C., included Greenacre Park on "Landslide" — the group's annual list of threatened and at-risk landscapes, the organization announced. The small but serene park, which occupies a tiny sliver of a lot on East 51st street between Second and Third avenues, was called "a Modernist gem that could be engulfed in shadows," by the nonprofit.
