WSP Greeter / Tour Guide Program
WSPC is launching a Greeter-Tour Program to inform Park visitors and neighbors about the exciting horticulture, history, landscape design, and culture that Washington Square Park has to offer. From our resident hawks to the coveted Arch, the Park has many stories to be told!
WSPC is seeking committed volunteers to donate their time and expertise for this free Park program. The WSPC Greeter-Tour Program provides an opportunity for interested volunteers to become an official Washington Square Park Docent. Training will be provided to volunteers accepted in the program.
