In the early 1970's, a small group of neighbors banded together to help upgrade Carl Schurz Park, giving particular emphasis to its playground, which serves the needs of neighborhood children. Today, this lovely park hosts what many consider to be the finest outdoor professional art show in the Metropolitan area. They also sponsor playground parties for children, outdoor summer concerts, astronomy sessions and much more. As family-friendly as they come, this will become a regular "go-to" for you and your family, all in the comfort of your Gracie Point community.

Built in 1799 by a prominent merchant named Archibald Gracie, it is designated as the official residence of the mayor of the City of New York since 1942.
