Abingdon Square Park is a small public park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It occupies a compact triangular open space and serves as local green space within the dense urban fabric.

The park offers planted beds, trees, seating and paved paths suitable for short visits and informal gatherings. It functions primarily as a neighborhood park rather than a destination attraction.

The site has existed as a public square within Manhattan’s street grid since the 19th century and has been maintained as a small municipal green space over time. Ownership and day-to-day maintenance are provided by New York City municipal park services and local volunteer groups have been involved in planting and upkeep.

The park sits in Greenwich Village in lower Manhattan, within New York City. It is part of the Manhattan borough and is a short walk from local subway stations and neighborhood streets.

Abingdon Square Park is a short walk from the West 4th Street-Washington Square subway complex (A/C/E/B/D/F/M lines) and is easily reached on foot from much of lower Manhattan.

• Visit during early morning on weekdays to see local commuters and dog walkers rather than tourists.
• Walk downhill toward Hudson Street for cafés and smaller shops after a park visit.
• Look for plaques or memorials in the square-many Greenwich Village parks have historical markers.
