Madison Square Park - New York City, NY - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

This 6.2 acre city park is the focus of New York's Madison Square. It is bounded by Madison Avenue, Fifth Avenue and Broadway from 23rd to 26th Streets.
This website (visit link) informs us:
"Since its rededication in 2001 this park is once again one of the most enjoyable parks in Manhattan. From anywhere in the park you have a great view on the surrounding architectural landmarks.
The park is littered with mostly 19th century statues. At the southeast corner of the park is a statue of Senator Roscoe Conkling, who froze to death during the great 1888 blizzard. At the north end of Madison Square park is a 1880 statue, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It depicts the Civil War admiral David Farragut.
Between 1876 and 1882, the right arm and torch of the Statue of Liberty were on display in the park, in order to raise money for the erection of the statue."

There is also a well known statue of William H. Seward here (visit link) and an attractive fountain.
