Park Avenue Malls

This small and modest green spot on Park avenue offers a special spot to watch the famous NYC subway trains race into the belly of the city (and then rush out emerging from the dark depth of the underground). So, grab a cup of tea or coffee and take a moment to relax on one of the benches while watching the city that never stops.

Relying solely on contributions from the community, The Fund for Park Avenue has been responsible for planting, lighting, and maintaining the trees and flowers on the Park Avenue Malls since 1980. The Fund also works closely with NYC Parks’ Art in the Parks program to present a variety of temporary sculpture exhibitions on the Park Avenue Malls. For more than fifty years, the Art in the Parks program has brought contemporary public artworks to parks throughout the five boroughs, making New York City one of the world’s largest open-air galleries.
