Athens Square Park
Description
Located in Astoria, New York's Greek-American neighborhood, this park was restored in 1990 as a locus for neighborhood gatherings and to create "a little bit of Athens in Astoria." An amphitheater juxtaposed with statues of the Greek philosopher Socrates and the Greek goddess Athena give the park a Hellenic ambience. Many groups have held performances here, including the Greek-American Folklore Society.
