Welcome to Haven Plaza!
With approximately 60,000 square feet of open, car-free space, Haven Plaza has become a local landmark for the entire community to enjoy. Created as part of the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) Plaza Program(link is external and opens in a new window), the Plaza welcomes community members to come enjoy the outdoors in Washington Heights.
Haven Plaza, located at 168th Street and Haven Avenue, is open to public and available for a wide range of public programming, activities, and events or just the place to go to enjoy the sights and sounds of the neighborhood.
If you are a community-based organization looking to use the plaza for an event, you may submit a permit application to the NYC Street Activities Permit Office(link is external and opens in a new window).
Columbia University Irving Medical Center affiliates may request to use Haven Plaza by submitting a request form(link is external and opens in a new window) four weeks prior to the event.
