Park Avenue, Manhattan

Park Avenue

Park Avenue (formerly Fourth Avenue) is a panoramic boulevard that carries northerly and southbound traffic in New York City borough of Manhattan. Throughout most of its length, it runs parallel to Madison Avenue to the west and Lexington Avenue to the east.
The flowers and greenery in the median of Park Avenue are serviceable by the Fund for Park Avenue. Begonias are a flower of choice for the Funds gardeners because there is no automatic watering system and they can cope with blistering sun.
Each December, Christmas trees are placed in the median. The first instance they were erected colored lights were used and accidents occurred because of confusion with traffic signals in front of them. Today exclusive chromatic and white lights are used.
