“#Washington Square Park’s 10 p.m. curfew has officially ended<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Washington Square Park\u2019s 10 p.m. weekend curfew has officially ended. <\/p>\n

The New York Police Department announced the curfew two weeks ago after a Post report highlighted the drug abuse and lawlessness that have consumed the Greenwich Village space in recent months.<\/p>\n

But the park went back to its regular midnight closing hour on Friday \u2013 in what turned out to be another night of violence and disorder there. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan at this point is to continue with standard closure hours; same as last night \u2014 midnight,\u201d Department of Parks & Recreation spokesperson Crystal Howard told The Post Saturday.<\/p>\n

However, even that midnight closure, a long-standing regulation, was ignored by officials and revelers Friday night. <\/p>\n

A fight broke out amid the after-hours rave at 2:15 a.m. Saturday morning, according to police. Three people were hospitalized in the melee \u2013 one of them stabbed and another slashed with a razor blade, police said.<\/p>\n

The rowdy raves into the wee hours of the morning are an almost nightly occurrence, say neighbors, who have grown increasingly angry with quality-of-life conditions around the park.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreenwich Village \u2026 has become a dystopian other world,\u201d lamented longtime resident Leslie Rylee in a blistering letter she fired off to The Post and city leaders Saturday.<\/p>\n

The conditions in Washington Square Park, she said, are \u201cthe result of apathy, corruption and abject neglect by elected and law enforcement officials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Efforts to enforce the 10 p.m. curfew last weekend ended in violence when a mob in the park clashed with cops. Twenty-two people were arrested and five cops were injured.<\/p>\n

\u201cClosure of the park is made in coordination with the Parks Department and is made on an ongoing basis,\u201d NYPD spokesperson Sgt. Jessica McRorie told The Post Saturday.<\/p>\n

The status of the curfew \u201ccould change in real time if circumstance are warranted,\u201d the Parks Department said, but did not elaborate on those circumstances.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
