I'm pretty sure the chess tables are public, but people hustle chess games for money (Stanley Kubrick used to do that to finance one of his first movies). It's a shame the image wasn't taken during the summer; it's usually packed full of people sunbathing in the fountain or watching street performers.

I work a short distance away and sometimes stroll through it during lunch. Until I started doing so a few years ago, I had always thought of chess as an upscale, intellectual sort of pursuit. One look at the chess players who frequent the park quickly changed that belief. Most of them appear to have learned chess in prison, while serving lengthy sentences! Ah, Washington Square Park.
