CENTRAL PARK

Central Park is not your ordinary city park. It is 843 acres of trees, paths, man-made lakes, bridges, woods, and, of course, people. The park was designed in the mid-1800s by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux for a design competition to create a large green space in the middle of Manhattan where the people could relax, unwind, and get back in touch with nature, even if just for an afternoon. These days, when the sun is shining, New Yorkers and tourists flock to Central Park to picnic, skate, stroll, toss frisbees, paddle the lake, or just plain relax and watch the people go by.
