The day I went to visit the plaza,that was during the month of June, and specially this year 2019, there was the 50 years commemoration of the Stonewall Inn uprising. The mood was festive despite an strong presence of police while all kind of people- families, young, old, group of students, couples were there taking pictures.I think this plaza is a very distinctive part of NYC that needs to be visited to understand why so many people that feel non welcome in their towns in United States and the world feel they have found their family, their tribe in the few blocks of Greenwhich Village, and they never want to leave.

This park is well maintained and obviously gets a lot of love! Its a nice little quiet spot compared to the rest of New York City, and, unlike some other parks, is very clean. The rangers are helpful and informative, and whoever runs the park changes things up occasionally. Well worth the visit, and its surrounded by history!

My favorite park. However until Covid 19 leaves us...and the Phases end...it is now full of mainly homeless buying Phase cocktails to go. That with drugs. Loud music...very odd behavior. Makes Female urinating in this tiny park.....likely this Summer is not the time to visit. Sculpture is in need of serious restoration and care.Hoping someday soon it will be a destination. Gathering place. Place to remember....once again.Surrounding bars all have outdoor service seating...if you want to sit enjoy seeing the park. But avoid the illegal activity.

This is the most quaint national memorial/park I have ever visited. It four life-size statues: a gay couple & a lesbian couple. It was my number 2 site to visit on my trip to New York city.

It was so pretty and peaceful, except for the drunk drag queen screaming at someone on her cell phone at 2 in the afternoon. I loved it.

So enjoyed getting to learn more about LGBTQ+ history in New York care of Christopher Street Tours available on AirBnB experiences. The equality we know today is directly linked to the fights waged on Christopher Street. We are blessed.

The National Monument contains Christopher Park and the surrounding streets. The park is nice but there really isnt much to see. In the summer, a park ranger will hang out in the park and lead tours. Maybe once the Park Service builds a visitor center, there will be more here. In the meantime, I would recommend visiting the Stonewall Inn.

Its hard for me to say how I liked it. All there is to see is the part in the middle of this square. The Stonewall Inn was closed when I went to visit and the LGBT community center was also closed.

The monument consists of two couples, two women and two men. This is a large oval park with benches surrounding the monument opposite the Stonewall bar. Everything is replete with rainbow flags, so you cant miss it. Its near the #1 train at Christopher St station.

A great little park to rest tired feed under shady trees. The Stonewall Inn is a neighborhood pub that serves gay strong drinks and sells cool t-shirts to remember your visit.

Extremely interesting. Not being gay, the significance is nowhere near as great to me as others, but it is a reminder of the struggle that some endured just to be who they are.Pretty recent too.

Looks just like any small park in the city but is worth a visit, especially for LGBT people and their allies. Special events are unsurprisingly LGBT-centered and it’s during these events that visitors can learn more about the equality movement and the issues of the day.

A cute little park where a lot of people came to sit on the benches with their dogs. My daughter took pictures at the Stonewall Inn. Beyond that and playing with other people’s dogs, there really isn’t much to do. There are two tribute tablets listed.

The National Monument is small, lined with benches, and has the distinct honor of being located directly across from the historic Stonewall Inn. Interestingly, a statue of Civil War Gen. Phillip Sheridan is at one end of the park.
