Bryant Park, located in Midtown Manhattan, occupies space formerly known as Reservoir Square. Originally designed in 1842 as a receiving basin for the Croton Aqueduct, it was transformed into a public park in 1934 during the Great Depression. Today, it's managed by the Bryant Park Corporation, a non-profit organization responsible for its programming and maintenance in partnership with New York City Parks. The park is characterized by its lush lawns, seasonal gardens, iconic New York Public Library backdrop and hosts numerous free events throughout the year attracting diverse audiences. It functions as a significant public space for recreation and cultural activities within the city.
