Madison Square Park, Urban park in Flatiron District, Manhattan, United States.
Madison Square Park is a 6.2-acre green space between Fifth Avenue and Broadway at 23rd Street in the Flatiron district. The park features designed gardens, manicured lawns, and multiple walking paths that invite you to wander.
The park was named after President James Madison in 1847 and grew from a swampy hunting ground into a gathering place for the wealthy. By the 1800s it had become a central social hub for affluent New Yorkers.
The park hosts regular temporary art exhibitions and outdoor concerts that bring activity to the neighborhood. Visitors can discover contemporary art installations scattered among the trees and walking paths.
The park is open daily and provides benches, tables, and shaded green areas for relaxing. There is also a well-known restaurant on-site where visitors can enjoy a meal or snack.
The Statue of Liberty's torch and arm were displayed in the park from 1876 to 1882 to raise funds for the monument. This was one of the most remarkable exhibition projects held there during the construction phase of that famous statue.
