Updated 4/13: The map above was originally created for a One Billion Rising Flash Mob event I organized at the park in 2013. Some remnants remain but this is your handy guide to the park entrances for the rally. It is unclear where the stage will be set at this moment.
The park will be closed off to the public all day until 5 p.m.
It would be hard not to know at this point that Senator Bernie Sanders is running for President on the Democratic Party line against Hillary Clinton. The New York Democratic Primary will be held on April 19th. The Washington Square Park Rally is a Get Out the Vote effort. In 2007, Presidential candidate Barack Obama held a rally in Washington Square Park.

Bathrooms at the park were not in place when above map was created. The rest rooms are located in a building near the Dog Run (above) but I would surmise that on-site facilities will be put in place.
