Madison Square Park

Madison Square Park

After a long period of restoration the park reopened in 2001. It looks the same as it was in the 19th century. Madison Square Park is located at Manhattan's Flatiron District, and is one of the oldest parks of New York.

Madison Square Garden is a small park, but nevertheless a park with a serene atmosphere. There’s a playground, picnic tables, lush lawns, and flowering plants everywhere you look. If you’re hungry you can buy burgers, hot dogs, and cold drinks at a food stand called Shake Shack.

There are benches everywhere shaded by large trees and that’s a great treat after a long walk. People come here to meet friends, have something to eat during there lunch break. I saw people reading a book or newspaper. And I? I was watching the people who walked by and enjoying the great ambiance of Madison Square Park.

While you’re sitting in the park, you can see parts of the surrounding landmarks like the Flatiron Building. It’s a very enjoyable park to spend some time.

Directions:
Take the subway, the R, W or 6 train to 23rd Street.
