Damrosch Park

Damrosch Park is a 2.4-acre public space at Amsterdam Avenue and West 62nd Street, nestled within Lincoln Center. Named for the influential Damrosch family of musicians, the park has served as a hub for arts and community since its opening in 1969. Its centerpiece, the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Bandshell, hosts a dynamic lineup of performances—including the Lincoln Center Festival, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, and the Big Apple Circus—drawing thousands of visitors each year.

Recently reimagined to be more welcoming and accessible, Damrosch Park now features inviting garden entrances, expanded green spaces, a water feature, and a community areas that encourage relaxation and connection. The park’s thoughtful design blends mid-century modern aesthetics with contemporary amenities, prioritizing shade, sustainability, and year-round usability. Whether you’re catching a world-class performance, enjoying a quiet moment on a bench, or joining a community event, Damrosch Park stands as a cultural heart of the Upper West Side. nycgovparks.org
