Katharine Hepburn Garden

The park’s Katharine Hepburn Garden is the largest public garden on the east side of midtown Manhattan. Park architect George Vellonakis designed the naturalistic garden, preserving the park’s original sycamore trees and creating a lower canopy of birch trees, dogwoods and viburnums.
