We caught the Metro to 96st which is about 2/3rds up Central Park. We then meandered through the park back to Times Square and down to 34st. The internal paths criss cross and are only for pedestrians, the outside paths/roads are for cyclists, horses and cars. Although the park was full of people walking, cycling, picnicing, playing games and stalls... More

It really is quite an incredible park. I just wandered and got lost, but that then led me to other things in the park. It is just like you have seen in photos etc. If it is a nice day, then get your lunch and just chill, well worth it.

Central Park is a beautiful place to spend the day. It's a well preserved green space in the middle of the concrete jungle. It is extremely clean and there are security officers all over. It's a great place to relax and catch some sun.

Central Park is very beautiful--and large. We went on a clear day when the temperature was near 80 degrees. It was perfect for "a day in the park". We rented bikes which was fun, but a little disappointing. I hadn't realized we would be riding alongside the horse drawn carriages and taxis.

Wandering through Central Park is nothing short of a must do. To leave the madness of midtown and within a few minutes you are in the quiet oasis with birdsong instead of car horns and it is a delight.

We enjoyed The Boathouse, the lake, walking around the park, the carriage ride, listened to music at the park

We went on a bike tour through Central Park with our 4 teenage kids. Lasted 2.5 hours. This is not for the fainthearted. Lots of uphill pedalling!

Fantastic. Who knew? I guess exploring Central Park isn't high on the list of things to do and see in NYC. It should be.

Didn't get to see the upper half of it, as it was raining and we had to head off in another direction - I wasn't impressed by the roads and cars that circulate in the middle of the park!
