Even if you have been to every corner of central park you should consider coming here at dusk to see the fireflies. Pack some snacks and grab a quiet spot on one of the lawns. After a few minutes you will notice the magical natural light show these amazing bugs out on every night. Both adults and kids were fascinated and had a great time watching the light show. Unfortunately my phone camera was not sophisticated enough to capture this, so you'll just have to come and see this for yourself.

Is the one of the wonderful place for picnic at the Central Park. Here you have on a higher ground so that you can have a good view to watch other people playing around it is so enjoyable to having some sun bathing there so many Rock naturally scattered on the grassland , so find one and just relax to lie yourself on the rock and have your picnic food if you feel tired just have a nap.

Large lawn free of trees in Central Park to frisbee. walk your dog. fly your kite. Use your dron. Take sun bath. Walk.

Sledding in the winter and outdoor movies in the summer, is there a better place in this world? Honestly this is THE locals hill. The top of the hill has an epic view of the city and the hill side is the best place for early sunbathing. When it snows tho 😍 come at night cause the hill will be filthy with children runny into each other. You don't want to get sued by an UES mom...

There is this little park you can see Airplanes departure/Arrival. Maps= Plainview Park

Picnic and Uno! Great plan!

Best times are early morn and after 6pm. Very crowded space. Dogs allowed on leash only, no bikes.

Nice little hill/bunny slopes for kids pre- tweens even though there are some tweens after school. But "they" (everyone, not just kids) don't clean up after themselves. Broken plastic sleds and cardboard and lids and various makeshift sleds parts everywhere. Highlights, some local snow "artists" making Igloos, which is rad.

NJ DOGS TRAINING LLC loved it. Central Park is the place to go.

Well if there are times that you need alone, accompanied, to eat outdoors, maybe reading or simply resting is your best option, of course many people will be around you and that is good since they will not interrupt your plans, just try it is great 😁

Very nice place to relax

That’s Central Park morning time

This is my favorite place in the park next to Pilgrim statue to hang out and people watch. Was recently lost in the park & couldn't figure out where to find this elevated spot. Fortunately, it was early in the morning and the dog owners were out in full force. Apparently this hill in the AM Is party Central for all sorts of big dogs to socialize. As a cat owner, this was really fun to experience. Like a dog park on steroids. I really live for the vivacity, care free spirit of animals. Such a contrast to the strange, technological life suck of 2022 humans in NYC.

This is the best part of my morning everyday!

Great spot with a good amount of open space and enough trees to grab a bit of shade. Far fewer tourists than more southern parks of the park.

It’s a great sledding hill when it’s open or just jump defense
