| Description |
"Erected by the Common Council in 1771, this fence surrounds New York's earliest park. The park was leased in 1733 for use as a bowling green at a rental of one peppercorn per year. Patriots, who in 1776 destroyed an equestrian statue of George III which stood here, are said to have removed the crowns which capped the fence posts but the fence itself remains. "Plaque erected 1964 by "The New York Community Trust" |
