Central Park

Set in the middle of bustling Manhattan, Central Park is the first public park built in America.  As one of New York City's top attractions, it is among the most visited urban parks in the world, with over 40 million guests per year.  Visitors can spend an entire peaceful day roaming its vast grounds, exploring nearly 50 fountains, monuments, and sculptures or admiring its 36 bridges and arches. Recreational activities include carriage-horse, bicycling, playgrounds, outdoor concerts, and special performances such as Shakespeare in the Park.
