Central Park: An Urban Sanctuary in the Center of NYC

From the Great Lawn to the Conservatory Garden, Central Park has it all. Spanning 843 acres in the center of Manhattan, this urban oasis offers a perfect respite in the concrete jungle. Stroll through the walking paths and admire the 29 sculptures throughout the park or watch the local artists draw caricatures of people passing by.
 
Now a National Historic Landmark, this iconic NYC park offers fun in every season. In winter months, visit the ice-skating rink or go sledding in Sheep's Meadow. In warmer months, enjoy the lush greenery, Lasker Pool, sunbathing, or playing volleyball. Animal lovers and children of all ages can visit with exotic animals from all over the world in their natural habitats at the Central Park Zoo. And for a little romance in the park, take a carriage ride on the paved roads through the park.
 
Home to some of the best NYC events, Central Park features a Summer Concert Series and Shakespeare in the Park, as well as the starting destination for the New York City Marathon. Catch the annual performance of the New York Philharmonic and listen to the sweet sounds of classical music with NYC as your backdrop.
