Right in the heart of Manhattan stands this oasis of rolling pastures and gardens, stretching from Midtown to Harlem. It was created in 1857 by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux. These days walkers, roller bladers, bikers and joggers compete for space. Lovers meet at the Bethseda Fountain on Bethseda Terrace. To the north, others wonder at the mystery of Belvedere Castle . Nearby is the Delacorte Theater, where you can watch plays in the summer. It blends so easily with the Manhattan environment that it is difficult to guess that it is totally man made. Across the park lies a charming Central Park Wildlife Conservation Center , and children of all ages love the restored carousel .

The park is totally nice, big, so much to see! You can have parties there, go canoeing, have a horseride, rent a bike, sleep there, read a book there, go with your friends there, etc.

NYC in me
I love NYC and I love going to Central Park. I don't live there anymore, but I spent many days just walking around and enjoying the GREEN grass in Central Park. It smells good, it is a pleasant and relaxing place to just enjoy nature in the middle of the city where people bump into each other every 5 seconds. Need a break from the traffic go take a walk and smell the roses.

Awesome, can't wait to go back again....

Love that place a lot. The park is really cool. I really like the merry-go-round a lot. The park is just simply awesome........... roam there for hours.......... still wanted to stay more even if couldn't walk any more as my legs were paining. There we also watched street dance show. It was really cool. Everyone who goes to NYC, should go there at least once.

Amazing!
By JAMIE, 01/31/09
It was my first time in New York....and I was truly amazed by the entire city. I really was in awe. I have to say though Central Park was my absolute favorite part of the city! I was there in September of 08. It was a gorgeous day, not a cloud in the sky. I loved all the bands that were playing, there were skaters, and even a wedding...beautiful!! I loved just sitting there on the bench watching people. We spent the entire day there and still could have seen so much more...The mall was breathtaking. It is definitely a must see when you go. My new most favorite spot in the world!

Beautiful & Peaceful
By Lissette, 05/28/08
I went on Memorial day! The weather was excellent. Brought a hot dog from a vendor on the street and sat on a bench & people watched. Loved it! F.Y.I. Great for a date! can take a picnic and sit on the lawn. Very romantic.

Don't miss this if you go to New York
By Bj, 04/25/08
The Central Park is a great place to visit. It looks really beautiful, and it is a great place to chill out and get some peace in an otherwise very busy city. What is nice about the park is that each section of it has its own feel and look. Especially the southern part, although also the busiest part, looks very nice. Really: a must see!

Tourists Beware
By t, 04/22/08
We were in Central Park on April 16 & 17 2008. We stayed in Central Park and had a fabulous 2 days. While walking thru the Park on a lovely afternoon, my mother who has some heart issues tired out. One of the men who gives rides on a bike offered to give us a ride. Mom saw a sign that read $35.00. I have ridden on one of these bikes in downtown Baltimore for $20.00 plus a tip. The rider was informative about the history of NY and Central Park. At the end of our ride, which was delightful, he said it would be $125.00 plus gratuity. Our fault for not asking the price,or making an assumption. Wait for a cab or rest until you can get to your destination. We did take a 1 hour tour around the island by boat that was $25.00 per person. We now know what its like to raped in Central Park.

Okay for a calm ending
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/13/08
I liked central Park. There was so much to see and do, and it was also really close to all sorts of sights. Don't go to Imagine Mosaic. It's a waste of time, and isn't what you really thought it would be (Strawberry Fields). Other that that It's great
