Central Park

It has been many years since the last time I visited Central Park, so I didn't remember how lovely this place really was. I revisited this park this past weekend and enjoyed playing "tourist" in my own city. If you don't feel like walking around like I did, you have the option for a pedicab tour or horse and carriage ride. They have plenty of places to check out like a visitor's center to get information, a carousel, a zoo, boat rentals, gift shops, playgrounds, mall, etc. While doing your own self-guided tour, there are QR codes to get an audio tour about the points of interest. They also have several places around the park to get a bite to eat. But be forewarned...it can be a bit expensive so I suggest bringing your own drinks and snacks if you are planning on being here for a while. I didn't get a chance to really explore the entire park as this place is quite huge. There are a good amount of restrooms throughout the park and plenty of places to sit and rest. There are critters scurrying about, but I didn't see the "rats" that several other reviewers have mentioned. The park is kept reasonably clean and seems safe during the day. In my opinion, Central Park is a great place to get some exercise, explore, or just relax. I will definitely visit again in the future the next time I want to play "tourist" again.

My visit to Central Park was an absolutely wonderful experience. This iconic New York park is a true oasis in the heart of the city. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by lush greenery and breathtaking landscapes. The paths are perfectly maintained and offer numerous opportunities for walking, jogging, or simply relaxing. I particularly enjoyed the lake, where you can rent rowboats for a romantic or family outing. The gardens, such as the Conservatory Garden, are beautifully landscaped and provide an ideal setting for rejuvenation. The park is also rich in cultural and recreational activities. From street performers to art installations, there’s always something interesting happening. The playgrounds and open spaces are perfect for families, and there’s plenty of room for picnics and outdoor games. In summary, Central Park is a must-visit destination for anyone in New York. Its natural beauty, combined with the variety of activities available, makes it a perfect spot for a memorable day out.

I think this might be my first time writing a review for something other than food. Central Park is much larger than you can imagine, sprawling and full of life. What I loved the most were the benches with engraved messages. Each one tells its own little story and adds a personal touch to the park’s charm. It’s a perfect place to relax, explore, and take in the beauty of nature right in the middle of the city.

I love Central Park all season long, I have walked from 59 to 110 many times and have certain spots that are my absolute favorites to put into my routine walks. There is nothing more lovely then to just stroll through a random day at Central Park. You never know what type of event, random street musician, flower in season, leaves all fallen or just a lush green Central Park. I am blessed to be able to have this park so close to me and make that a usual routine. I highly recommend this park for any native or touring New Yorker here ✨🙏🏼

Each side of the park is beautiful and a perfect place to spend a day out with family and friends. Plus I like that they have a playground for kids and a zoo inside the park❤️We enjoyed the east side the most during spring and summer. Looking forward to enjoying the fall season soon 🍁 🍁
