Once an urban oasis of the 19th Century, this park fell into heavy disrepair and decay. The New York Restoration Project (chaired by Bette Midler) has been working since 2000 or so to restore the park. As the fortunes of Washington Heights have lifted, the park has improved and is no longer a haven for petty crime. The infrastructure of the park has decayed significantly and has not been fully restored.
