A Flatiron Park With Six Point Two Acres of Grass

Madison Square Park gives the Flatiron a real patch of breathing room, with six point two acres of grass, curated horticulture, protected green spaces, and room to pause beside Broadway. The Flatiron Building rises beyond the lawn, while rotating art installations keep the setting changing from one day to the next.

The Madison Square Park Conservancy looks after the grounds, which hold a dog run, a small playground, benches, and open grass where you can settle for a while. Bring something from the surrounding neighborhood cafes, then stay for a slow wander. The park remains open daily from 6 AM to 11 PM, leaving time for an early walk, a midday reset, or a post dinner look around the lawn. At W 23rd St, the city feels close on every side, while the open center gives you a little space to breathe.
