Tompkins Square Park didn't get a Sing for Hope piano this summer ... however, the Park will be home in the next few months to "CEI Benchmarks: Youth Setting the Standard for Social Change," a campaign spearheaded by the nonprofit Center for Educational Innovation.
The three benches, which arrived yesterday over in the middle of the Park by the ping-pong table, were created by local public school students to "confront major social issues." (Thanks to Steven for the photos!)
