Central Park was created in 1858 by Frederick Law Olmsted and
Calvert Vaux.
It is 843 acres - 2.5 miles long by ½ mile wide – running
from 59th Street to 110th Street.
42 million people visit Central Park every year.
It’s a tale of two cities.
Belvedere Castle on 59th Street is the dividing
line.
From the castle south – tourists. Lots of tourists.
North of the castle – locals.
While the tourists were slipping on Bow Bridge –
locals were walking, sometimes with others, sometimes with
dogs.
And, in the afternoon, the parents with kids and sleds
arrived.
Central Park NYC has something for everyone!
