Overview

Madison Square Park is a 19th-century park in the Flatiron District, framed by landmark buildings including the Flatiron Building, with tree-lined paths, lawns, rotating public art installations, playgrounds, a dog run, and shaded seating. It hosts concerts and events year-round, and Shake Shack began here.
