3 Park Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space at the intersection of Park Avenue and 34th Street in Murray Hill, providing an outdoor plaza at a major crossroads between the Midtown office district and the Murray Hill residential neighborhood.
Park Avenue at 34th Street is a transitional point on the avenue: south of this intersection, the avenue passes through the Murray Hill residential area, while to the north it enters the corporate corridor that extends to Grand Central Terminal and beyond.
The 34th Street crosstown corridor is one of Manhattan's most significant east-west routes, connecting the Javits Center on the far west side through Penn Station, Herald Square, and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel on the east side.
The POPS at 3 Park Avenue serves the intersection of two major Manhattan corridors, providing outdoor space at a crossroads used by office workers, commuters, and residents of the surrounding neighborhoods.
This plaza marks the southern gateway to Park Avenue's corporate corridor, where the residential character of Murray Hill gives way to the towering office buildings of Midtown.
