    I'd consider Central Park as the oasis of NYC. It's a little bit of tranquility in a city that never sleeps. Stop in, grab a map and you can easily spend a whole day exploring this huge park. Enjoy!

    Love my park. I've been taking 6 mile walks around Central Park 3 times a week. Sheep's Meadow is a great place to hang out for a picnic. Tavern on the Green is an awesome spot to grab a drink.

    Great to experience as often as you can. So much to do and see. Great music, people watching, and walking in nature. Be sure to do a carriage ride, very relaxing, educational & scenic.

    Amazing park. You have alot of choices what you want to do. Lay down on the grass, sunbathe, take a walk, sport, run, make a picnic, read your book, ride bicycle etc. You will love here so much.

    I comforted Dutchess Elba here, the day she learned of her husband's affair with the daughter of an Italian tire magnate. I cut our time short, for fear of being involved in yet another royal scandal.

    Best spot in the park is a corner seat near Bethesda Fountain right by the lake. Amazing spot to people watch, relax by the water, and take in all the beautiful nature surrounding you.

    One of my favorite places to get lost in the city. An amazing Oasis in the middle of the cement jungle. Always something for everyone. Make sure to go further in the park and get away from tourists.

    This manmade park, seemingly a welcome bit of nature against NYC's harsh conditions and strict grid, is actually a masterpiece of architecture. Every detail, down to the smallest rock, was planned.

    The greatest park in the world. Great for all activities and a welcome escape from the busy city. Don't get ripped off on the horse and cart rides. A lot of the "original" art on offer are reprints

    Love Central Park, a true treasure in NYC. if you are a runner, it's a great place to run a loop. Cutovers across the park give you the option of a 3 mile, 5 mile or 6 mile route.

    Places to Run: NYC’s most famous park is also a year-round haven for runners. Pick a trail, loop or traverse, run around its entire 6-mile perimeter, or opt for a 1.58 mile run at the reservoir. Read more

    Great way to start a morning is to briskly walk around the Great Lawn during the off-leash hours of 9pm-9am and meet other friendly dog owners. Exercise for you and your pup while bonding with nature.

    Walk in the middle and city life is worlds away. Ponds, Trees, birds, squirrels, and we didn't even get to the zoo. A race around the park is great but not recommended at night. The perfect escape.

    The first time I saw Central Park, I wasn't impressed at all. The second time, it was covered in snow and I loved it. The ice skating rink, all the squirrels, the hills and the amazing views.

    If you visit NYC in the winter you must come to central park and go to the outdoors iceskating ring! The christmas lights make it even more magical! It is a bit pricy but worth it! Dress very warm!
