In a bustling city like New York, the tranquility of Central Park offers a welcome escape from the outside world. With its serene atmosphere and extensive running tracks, you can jog for miles undisturbed. Although the occasional loose dogs were bothersome, they didn't detract from the overall ambiance.
We saw only a small area of Central Park but we had a nice peaceful walk. Nice change of pace after walking through Manhattan. It's currently February but I can't wait until summer time to come back.
Very popular spot. Very nice for children with the huge playground. The lake and ducks are very cute. The view is magical in the center of the city. One of the best attraction. There is ice skating during winter.
