    Barely scratched the surface

    We visited the park the day after a big snow storm. Was beautiful to walk around and managed a couple of the sites. Need a lot more time than a half a day.

    lovely

    Such an iconic park to visit, so much to see and do. I went boating on the lake which was fun and also headed to the Met which is on the park.

    Few steps inside, and you are in a whole new world where you can relax and breathe in. A must if you are in the city.

    Lovely afternoon cycle ride in the park.

    My partner, friends and I hired our bikes at the edge of the park near the top of 5th Avenue. Worked out around 40 dollars for 2 bikes for 3hrs. Not the cheapest but you’d never do it on foot as the park is vast....More

    Loving Central Park
