Fun Facts

Greenacre Park was donated to the city by the Greenacre Foundation, established by Abby Rockefeller Mauzé, to provide a peaceful oasis in the bustling city.

The park features a 25-foot waterfall, creating a serene soundscape that masks the city's noise, making it a favorite spot for relaxation.

Despite its impact, the park covers only 6,360 square feet, making it one of the smallest parks in New York City.

Designed by Sasaki Associates, the park includes multi-level terraces, lush plantings, and movable chairs, offering a flexible space for visitors.

Greenacre Park opened to the public in 1971, providing a green retreat amidst the urban landscape for over 50 years.

Located on East 51st Street between Second and Third Avenues, Greenacre Park is easily accessible to Midtown Manhattan workers and residents.

Greenacre Park remains open throughout the year, allowing visitors to enjoy its tranquility in all seasons.
