Description
This public space was a highly desirable address when it opened in 1847, but it became the site of several unfortunate and unsavory events—including the murder of architect Stanford White atop one of his creations, the second Madison Square Garden, in 1901. By the 1990s, the park had become a decaying no-go zone given over to drug dealers and the homeless, but got a much-needed makeover in 2001. Now a verdant oasis, it hosts a series of summer concerts, literary readings and kids’ events.
