Click Image for Full Size Schematic

The reconstruction of Washington Square Park will include the relocation and conservation of the fountain, conservation of sculptures, new and expanded lawns and planting beds, new paths, benches, lighting and more. The fountain will be completely rebuilt and restored and made part of a large central plaza at one level, allowing ADA-compliant access to the plaza. The movement of the fountain will also help make possible an approximately 20 percent increase in unpaved green space in the park. Construction began Monday, December 10, 2007. The first phase of construction should be completed by Spring 2009.
