Open Road Park
Open Road Park is among the larger green spaces created in the East Village as a result of community organizing. The site of this park was taken over in 1993 by Open Road, a neighborhood nonprofit that developed the lot into a community garden and playground. Prior to its use as a park, the site was used for many purposes that reflect on the history of the surrounding neighborhood.
==As a Cemetery==
In 1833, East 11th Street was regarded as the northern periphery of New York City and selected as the city’s third Roman Catholic cemetery after the older burial ground at Old Patrick’s Cathedral on Mott Street reached its capacity.〔“(11th Street Catholic Cemetery )” New York City Cemetery Project November 14, 2010〕 After interring 41,016 individuals the Catholic Cemetery reached its limit by August 1848 and the church then began burying its members at Calvary Cemetery in Queens. For the following four decades, the cemetery gradually fell into disuse and was subject to vandalism.〔“(Historical Records and Studies, Volume I )” United States Catholic Historical Society, 1900 Pages 370, 375, 375.〕
In 1883, the church proposed selling the property〔“Excited Roman Catholics: The Proposed Removal of Dead Bodies from a Cemetery,”New York Times Jan 4, 1883〕 and re-interring its dead at Calvary Cemetery. Relatives of the deceased filed a lawsuit to prevent the disinterment and the sale was put on hold.〔“Selling the Graves,” ''New York Herald'' Jan. 5, 1883〕〔“The Cathedral Cemetery Case,” ''New York Times'' Jun 5, 1883〕 In 1907, the church again decided to sell the cemetery.〔“Catholics to Abandon East Side Cemetery,” ''New York Times'' Feb 3, 1907〕 By then, the value of the land had greatly increased while the surrounding neighborhood was no longer dominated by Catholic residents. After the last bodies were disinterred in 1909, the site was sold three years later〔“Sell Old Catholic Cemetery at Last,” ''New York Times'' Nov 7, 1912〕 to the New York City Board of Education and the Fifth Avenue Coach Company.
