Where else can you see a castle, a sled dog, Alice in Wonderland and a 4,000-year-old obelisk from Egypt in one place? That would be Central Park and it’s more than just a green space in the middle of Manhattan Island – it’s an 843-acre oasis 150 years in the making and a favorite retreat for New Yorkers of all walks of life. An essential part of the urban landscape, Central Park is something that no New Yorker could live without. It fits into the Manhattan environment so naturally that many people never realize it is entirely man-made. Join us and see exactly what makes this park so famous.
