Overview – Designated a public space in 1847, this leafy glade was home to the original Madison Square Garden and has always enjoyed a place of prominence along Ladies Mile. After falling into disrepair for a time, the dusty park was finally returned to its original grandeur with a much needed $12 million facelift. Its reflecting pool, nifty rubber-padded children's playground and Jemmy's dog run stand along gently curving flagstone paths lush with white roses, snap – dragons and hydrangeas in summer. – – Features and Attractions – It was the first venue to…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- From June through the end of September, Danny Meyer (owner of famed nearby restaurants Tabla and 11 Madison Park) is slinging peppery Chicago-style hot dogs at his stand in the park from 11am-3pm, Monday through Friday. All proceeds go to the park.
- Where to Eat:
- After a walk in the park, grab a bite at the stylish yet casual Bread Bar at Tabla.

Great park!
by lulu0418 at Citysearch
I consider this one of the best small parks in the city. It's right in the middle of mayhem but manages to feel comfortable and inviting. Love the rotating art exhibits -- add a little culture!
And even if the line is long, the original Shake Shack is a great place to grab a bite. (I suggest the 'shroom burger. Delish!)
- Pros: Plenty of park benches; Shake Shack; playground; dog run
- Cons: None!

Relaxing Lunch Spot
by sak941 at Citysearch
Used to work on 29th & Madison and this was a great place to relax and eat lunch. They have chairs and tables around the park that can be used and many places nearby to run in and grab a quick lunch to take with you.
