10
things
to
see
in
Central
Park
in
New
York
❤️❤️❤️
At
4
km
long
and
800
meters
wide,
Central
Park
is
New
York's
immense
green
lung.
Here's
what
you
absolutely
must
see!
During
your
stay
in
New
York,
I
strongly
advise
you
to
devote
a
half
day
or
a
day
to
Central
Park,
the
most
legendary
and
the
largest
park
in
Manhattan!
but
what
should
be
seen
in
this
huge
park,
covering
an
area
of
3.41
km²?
Here
are
the
10
places
I
recommend
you!
1
/
The
Mall
This
grand,
tree-lined
pedestrian
avenue
is
emblematic
of
Central
Park.
New
Yorkers
call
it
the
"promenade".
Especially
remember
to
review
the
benches,
each
with
a
small
personalized
plaque.
Some
quotes
are
worth
a
look!
2
/
Bethesda
Fountain
North
of
the
Mall,
you
will
come
out
in
front
of
the
monumental
Bethesda
Fountain,
the
most
beautiful
fountain
in
Central
Park.
This
plaza
was
laid
out
from
1859
to
1864
and
opens
onto
The
Lake,
one
of
the
lakes
in
Central
Park.
on
weekends,
guaranteed
atmosphere
around
the
fountain…
and
traffic
jams
with
a
view
of
the
lake!
If
you
feel
like
it,
don't
hesitate
to
rent
your
boat
in
Central
Park.
3
/
Bow
Bridge
a
short
walk
from
Bethesda
Fountain,
following
the
lake
west,
you
will
find
the
Bow
Bridge,
Central
Park's
most
iconic
bridge.
this
bridge,
built
in
1862
and
26.5
meters
long,
is
indeed
one
of
the
most
romantic
places
in
the
park.
4
/
Strawberry
Fields
continuing
west
along
the
lake
you
will
come
to
Strawberry
Fields,
a
small,
very
peaceful
wooded
area.
Since
1985,
the
site
has
housed
a
memorial
to
John
Lennon,
the
former
Beatles
singer
who
was
murdered
in
1980
in
front
of
the
entrance
to
the
Dakota
building,
a
stone's
throw
from
here.
the
memorial
is
intended
to
be
very
simple:
a
mosaic
with
the
word
"imagine",
in
reference
to
one
of
the
most
famous
songs
written
by
the
artist.
5
/
Alice
in
Wonderland
Returning
to
the
east
side
of
the
park,
at
75th
Street,
you
will
discover
one
of
Central
Park's
most
amazing
sculptures:
Alice
in
Wonderland.
this
sculpture,
inaugurated
in
1959,
is
one
of
the
places
to
do
absolutely
if
you
are
with
children.
Just
in
front
of
the
sculpture,
take
a
look
at
the
Conservatory
Water
body:
a
mini-lake
reserved
for
model
ships.
to
see
also
going
down
towards
the
South:
the
small
statue
of
the
dog
Balto,
at
the
level
of
the
67th
Street.

we're

/
Belvedere
Castle
this
is
one
of
my
favorite
places
in
Central
Park.
Firstly,
because
there
is
something
completely
surreal
about
this
reproduction
of
a
medieval
castle
in
the
middle
of
New
York!
second,
because
the
lookout
offers
a
superb
view
of
the
Turtle
Pond
below,
the
park
and
the
buildings
of
the
Upper
East
Side.
I
advise
you
to
visit
this
place
in
the
afternoon
to
have
the
sun
behind
your
back.

information

the
Belvedere
Castle
page.
7
/
The
Ramble
Between
Bethesda
Fountain
and
Belvedere
Castle,
take
the
time
to
get
lost
in
The
Ramble.
this
wooded
area,
with
its
rugged
topography,
will
give
you
the
impression
of
walking
in
the
middle
of
the
forest.
And
yet
you
are
in
the
heart
of
Manhattan!
Certainly
one
of
the
wildest
places
in
the
park.
8
/
Jacqueline
Kennedy
Onassis
Reservoir
North
of
Belvedere
Castle,
the
Reservoir
is
the
largest
body
of
water
in
Central
Park.
unlike
the
Lake,
next
to
the
Bethesda
Fountain,
this
time
you
will
not
see
any
boats
on
the
water:
the
reservoir
is
used
to
supply
two
other
lakes
in
Central
Park,
The
Pool
and
the
Harlem
Meer,
the
lake
in
the
far
north
of
the
park.
if
you
are
a
photographer,
you
will
enjoy
the
view
of
the
water
and
the
buildings.
9
/
Sheep
Meadow
One
of
my
other
favorite
places
in
Central
Park
is
the
“Sheep
Lawn”.
But
I'm
not
the
only
one
who
loves
this
place!
on
weekends,
when
the
weather
is
nice,
crowds
of
New
Yorkers
come
to
lay
their
towels
on
these
lawns
and
sunbathe.
a
very
nice
place
also
for
photos
because
you
will
have
the
necessary
distance
to
photograph
the
park
and
the
buildings
in
the
background.
