Our Mission

Madison Square Park Conservancy is the nonprofit entrusted by the City of New York to operate Madison Square Park, a 6.2-acre public space in the heart of Manhattan. Our mission is to conserve, maintain, and program this historic green space, including raising 100% of the park’s operating budget. Our dedicated team takes great pride in caring for and shaping an urban oasis for all to enjoy.

Conservancy focus
Madison Square Park Conservancy is the non-profit responsible for caring for the park. We are dedicated to nurturing our public space by focusing on the following areas:
Community
Madison Square Park brings people together.
Art
Public art has the ability to inspire, provoke, and challenge.
Horticulture
Curated green space connects our city to nature.
Sustainability
Sustainability is essential for our park and our planet.
The Board of Trustees plays a vital role in sustaining and strengthening Madison Square Park Conservancy.
