Central Park, in the very heart of New

York City, is one of the most inspiring

combinations of architecture, landscape
design and urban planning to be found
anywhere on the face of the earth. Central
Park is one of those places that make New
York such a great place to live. The huge park,
843 acres large (341 ha), is located in the
center of Manhattan. It ranks as a symbol of
New York City only behind the Statue of
Liberty and the Empire State Building.
Central Park breathes. It provides a respite from the struggles that have
produced the amazing city that surrounds it. It is a place to reflect, to sigh deeply, to
let the tension fade away and allow the pressures of metropolitan enterprise loosen and
unwind.
The park also satisfies that need to be near something living, something growing; a
need to be near something green.
Central Park is all of these things, and much more.
The park boasts several lakes, theaters, ice rinks, fountains, tennis courts,
baseball fields, many playgrounds and other facilities. It is also home to the Central
Park Zoo and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Especially during the weekends, when
cars are not allowed into the park, Central Park is a welcome oasis in this hectic city.
