“OK but just a park + we got hopelessly lost!”

A nice respite from the built up NY but it just feels like a nice park and we got so lost that by the end of it we begun to hate the place because we couldn't get out! Make sure you get hold of a map so you don't end up ruining your experience of central park like we did! more

It’s easy to forget just how big Central Park really is – in my four visits to New York I’ve never managed to get further north than the Natural History Museum, so that leaves at least two thirds of the park yet to be explored in future trips. We loved the illusion of feeling like you’re a million miles from... more

If you go be advised. . . the lines are horribly long and people were camped overnight so there was no way we were going to get tickets for this. However, we did wait in line for about 2 hours but still too late to get tickets. The native people seem to know when to come and line up but... more

We were pressed for time so we were only there for 2 hours. We had map in hand and rented bicycles. Please be aware that if you decide to rent a bicycle you can't ride it in certain areas so you have to walk it but that was no problem for us. We were only able to cover parts of... more

Watch out for crazy speeding bikers. Bring a map, a really, really, really good map if you don't know your way around. A satellite image might be a good idea. It seems that the park rangers don't believe in putting up signs. Also, this park seems to be a popular destination for people with anger management issues. If you're thinking... more

Vast, easy to get lost (that's a good thing), and a much appreciated break from the hustle and bustle of Midtown. more

There is a hill with rock just above the Wohlman Skating Rink in Central Park in NYC. It is a MUST for taking a photo! Standing on the rock area, you will have the skating rink behind you with the Central Park trees and Manhattan skyline! It is the subject of many a painting and professional photo. It's worth finding... more

I was just in New York for a few days (first trip as an adult) and really wanted to go to the Central Park Zoo. I wasn't intending on walking around Central Park because I was alone and heard stories but I have to say I'm glad I did. I just started wandering around on the paths when suddenly I... more

Me and my girlfriend just took a half an hour walk through Central Park on a sunny day and it was really nice. You can realise why the locals use it so much because it's so quiet and relaxing compared the busy and noisy life of the big city. It was really nice to walk through and we took some... more
