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, rollerbladers, bikers and joggers compete for space. Lovers meet at 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. Across the park lies a charming zoo, and children of all ages love the restored carousel.

  • Peaceful and gorgeous.
  • Rickshaw operators kept offering rides. A bit annoying, but part of the experience, I guess.

“Definitely a must if you've been touring the busy city. It was breathtaking to walk in a quiet, grassy park and look up through tree limbs at that beautiful NYC skyline. The traffic noise, even though nearby, was minimal and all I noticed was the beautiful landscaping, including natural rock outcroppings that were open for climbing on. In most places they'd be roped off to preclude lawsuits, but we walked all over them, and saw several others napping, sitting, reading, etc.”

  • Beautiful park in the center

“The perfect place to do some people watching. Highlights include plenty of street performers, Central Park zoo, and The Metropolitan Museum. Get a feel for New York City if you are a tourist, but you can also go to the park to "get away" from the city if you are a local - read a book, get some sun, play some ball.”
