Madison Square Park

First opened to the public in 1847, this park underwent a complete overhaul and renewal in 2001. The Madison Square Park of today boasts free WiFi, a dog run, a playground, public installations by artists like Sol LeWitt and William Wegman, an outpost of the Shake Shack and events running from live music to Fall Eats, an annual month-long food fair with pop-up food carts from the City’s best restaurants.
