YOUTH OF TOMPKINS PARK



The young people I met at Tompkins Square Park
May /June 2019

Tompkins Square Park is a true neighborhood park, once known as the epicenter of drug dealers, drug addicts and homeless people in New York until the late 1980s.
Today it is an ever popular park where you can meet different social classes, artists and outsiders.
Children throng in the playground and on the basketball court.

Most young skaters smoke weed at Tompkings Square Park, which is tolerated in New York
The public toilets are a place of sales, but this park is extraordinary social mix, dog park, skatepark, music everywhere,  artists graffeurs , kids who celebrate their birthday (see my 'KIDS' series), a hideaway for homeless, and lawn where one gets tanned naked breasts which is also licensed in New York
A park of freedom
