Over the weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Union Square Park. The park is filled with a multitude of people of all backgrounds. At the park, one can see people either studying, reading, walking, hanging out, or watching a street performance. During my time there, there were acrobats who conducted a performance of flips, jumping through hoops, and so on. The crowd around watched in awe as they witnessed the acrobats doing their performance. There was also an event at the park, called the “Harvest in the Square”, which was a feast conducted by the community in order to help raise money for the park. People, for the most part, were dressed fancy for the event, with men wearing suits and women wearing dresses. Around the park, there were a multitude of stores and restaraunts where one could see people shopping and eating from a distance. On the green fields of the park, individuals there sat and conversed, sun bathed, or sat alone and just enjoyed the nature around them. There was also a street market, where vendors sold their products, such as food, art
and books. For those of you, who have not yet visited Union Square Park, I would definitely recommend in doing so.
