Stanley Phillips and Cora Sue Kaufman enjoy the
Thumbelina Park and Community Garden, a tiny 'micropark' at 25th Street
and Eighth Avenue. (Parks Chelsea)
The mirco-park will become something of a trend in Chelsea-Hell's Kitchen, if some residents have their way. The genesis is a six-by-six foot Thumbelina Park and Community Garden, trapped between the sidewalk and a bike lane at West 25th Street and Eighth Avenue. The amusing persona of Arnold Bob presides over Thumbelina and hopes to bring a hundred or so similar parks to the area. "Most gardens grow plants," Ranger Bob recently told DNA Info, "But at a community garden, what we grow is community." link

| Tutu Center Micropark 10th @20th Street Park Chelsea decided that placing a bench in front of it would allow passerby to sit and really enjoy the spot rather then just having to walk by it. The Tuto Micropark is one of 7 new sidewalk park bench locations thart have been installed throughout Chelsea as part of Park Chelsea's A Seat Near Every Street campaign . link update:CB4 has made the following statement about this location:
Item 10: Letter to LPC re 180 Tenth Avenue APPROVED (WITH REVISIONS)
A few board members suggested the inclusion of the “public space” component in the letter and Johnson added that
there be should be signage letting the public know that they are able to use it.
So this garden may actually be a"Secret" public space.
Maritime Community garden  Maritime Micropark : At the NE corner of 16th St and 9th Ave is the Maritime Micropark. This micropark has Wi-Fi, Seat Fi and given that it is adjacent to the 16st Greenstreets plot with trees but no plantings, we'd hope that some group sees the potential of it becoming a Green-Fi Community Garden Hotspot |
Park Hell's Kitchen -Hell's Kitchen Age-Friendly Park
Here is the list of proposed bench locations that will be recommended at the next CB4 Transportation Committee ( Dec 19th) You
will note that there are no proposed bench on 9th Avenue or on side
streets where the sidewalks are too narrow. Let us know if you have
other suggestions or concerns with the proposed locations.
Shouldn’t our seniors be able to walk, then sit for FREE on our public sidewalks rather than having to pay in order to sit and rest? link
