Fun Facts

This small park, located in Midtown Manhattan, is often praised for its innovative design and tranquil atmosphere, featuring a 20-foot waterfall that drowns out city noise.

The park is named after William S. Paley, a former CBS chairman, who funded its creation in memory of his father, Samuel Paley.

The park was designed by Zion & Breen Associates, a firm known for its innovative approach to urban spaces.

At just 4,200 square feet, Paley Park is a prime example of a pocket park, providing a small but impactful green space in the urban landscape.

The park features lightweight chairs and tables, allowing visitors to rearrange them as they please, promoting a sense of personal space and comfort.

The park's walls are covered in English Ivy, adding to the serene and secluded feel of the space.

Despite its small size, the park remains open throughout the year, offering a peaceful retreat in every season.
