I didn’t spend enough time in Central Park…when I go back to New York I definitely need to spend more time wandering around. It’s designed (on the most part) to be very natural looking with meandering paths and shade and curves that make it both enticing and deceptive about where you’re going. It’s great that such a densely crowded city has this immense green space in the centre of it and I think if I lived in New York, I’d have to be rich so I could live up near the park. These pics are from Tuesday 5th.
Typical park
The Great Lawn
Ducks, turtles and fish in the Turtle Pond
Belvedere Castle
Obelisk
Crabs holding up obelisk…because apparently that’s what crabs do when they’re not helping Captain Jack Sparrow out
Arch
Bears
I recently watched an episode of Masterchef shot in Central Park, they called it New York’s oxygen. I imagine at night Central Park is less beautiful & very scary. LOVE THE BEARS.
only been to New York once…and got myself and a few others lost…love the pics! Never been to central park before! 🙂
Central Park is well worth the visit. Can’t wait to go back.
Mary, I think Central Park is probably a lot less scary at night than it used to be but I wouldn’t be walking through it alone! The paths etc are quite twisty and it would be easy for someone to sneak up on you. But I wouldn’t walk through most parks at night by myself.
