Bryant Park, Public park in Midtown Manhattan, United States
Bryant Park spans 9.6 acres between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, featuring a central lawn, seasonal gardens, and tree-lined pathways in the heart of Manhattan.
The space transformed from a potter's field in 1842 to a public square named after journalist William Cullen Bryant in 1884, marking a shift in urban development.
The park hosts outdoor movies, concerts, and performances throughout the year, drawing millions of visitors to participate in free community activities.
Visitors access the park through multiple subway lines, including B, D, F, M, and 7 trains, with entrances available on all four surrounding streets.
The winter season brings an ice skating rink and holiday market, transforming the central lawn into a seasonal entertainment destination.
