Trees
This page is dedicated to the trees growing at St. Vartan Park as surveyed by St. Vartan Park Conservancy through August 15, 2026.
Only park plants classified as trees and that were growing during the survey are reviewed on this page.
The trees are in the park’s accessible areas, fenced plant beds and on sidewalks and medians that touch the park and the park-side bike lanes.
This page complements this citywide NYC Parks trees map and the St. Vartan Park Conservancy flowers page.
