A green stop on Fifth Avenue

The Madison Square Park Conservancy places the park between Fifth and Madison avenues and 23rd and 26th streets. Its published winter schedule is 6 a.m.–11 p.m., November 1–May 31, in New York local time.

Park hours and lawn hours differ. The visitor page lists lawn access from 10 a.m.–5 p.m., weather permitting, with closures for wet conditions, maintenance and parade days. Check its live status before travelling; this profile does not provide a live lawn-status feed.

The Conservancy describes general park access as free and step-free, with ramps for pathways and lawns. It lists no restroom inside the park, pointing instead to a DOT restroom on Madison Avenue between 23rd and 24th streets; current restroom operation was not verified. Access or accommodation questions: 212-520-7600, as published by the Conservancy.

What the mapped point means

The city’s NYC Parks Properties record M052 identifies Madison Square Park in Manhattan. Its boundary is supplied as a multipolygon. The point stored here, 40.74275844273813, −73.98677782187565, is an exact vertex of that published boundary, not an entrance, building address point or surveyed park center. The stable external identifier is nycparks:property:M052.

The dataset information lists an October 16, 2026 update and warns that site-specific conditions need field verification. A boundary record cannot establish whether a path or gate is usable today.

For a Fifth Avenue walk, make two separate decisions: whether the park is open when you arrive and whether the particular area you want to use is available. The same distinction matters in any city directory: a park boundary is geographical information, while an opening notice is operational information. Neither substitutes for checking conditions at the site.

Continue with the nearby Flatiron Building profile or Eataly NYC Flatiron at 200 Fifth Avenue. These are directory connections, not an inspected or timed walking route. Use the official park guide for features and the organizer calendar for dated programs; no event or ticket availability is asserted here.
