My partner and I went there on a sunday and was amazed how long it took to walk the whole of the park. We would recommend going on a Sunday just to exspirence the atmosphere with all the baseball games going on and the picnics and genral busyness of it all.watching the painters and sculptors is fantastic .

Central Park used to be so unfriendly and dangerous in the 70's and early 80's, but now it is a fabulous place to have some time-out in NYC. i am a photographer, and never tire of walking around it photographing its beauty spots. Time was, back in the day, that I would have been afraid on my own, but not... More

Skip the south end and go the 100 Street and 5th Avenue and stroll through the Conservatory Gardens. Be prepared to dodge a picture with a bride and groom and their wedding party.

We were really looking forward to going to the Central Park since all of our friends had recommended us to go there for at least half a day. It was actually more impressive than we thought and a must-see place when visiting New York. Definitely go for the bike rental and the boat rental.

It is just your usual park. And it was not a good time to visit since it was early spring, and there are no greens yet. I hope to see it again when the flowers are in bloom.

Central Park is huge! Get a map of it before you go like we didn't! There is even a zoo and a nice little organic only Cafe. Visited John Lennon's memorial at Strawberry fields. Lots to see and do.
