Central Park is definitely worth a visit when visiting New York. It does fall lend itself to being one of the city's most famous attractions, but it is worth it to escape some of the hustle and bustle of the city itself. We visited in December/January and it was lovely to stroll around the park in the fresh, crisp air. There are plenty of people but due to it's vast size and numerous activities there is no element of it that is considered "too busy". Stroll through the park, rent a bicycle, or take a horse drawn carriage tour around to view the various sites such as Strawberry Fields, Bow Bridge or Bethesda Terrace. It’s an amazing place to walk around and explore.

This is an oasis right in the middle of bustling New York City. Covering a landscaped area of 843 acres, it is a marvel and must see for the visitor to the city. It was a grey, wintry day in the early afternoon that we went. The lake had frozen solid. Despite fallen snow on the paths, there were plenty of people, varied ages, out to enjoy this unique oasis. Little ones were having fun, in strollers, holding adult hands or even running ahead on their own. Hats, coats, gloves and scarves were all de rigueur for the weather, inclement as it was. Central Park Boathouse was open and inviting, in case one fancied a hot drink or victuals. New York’s Central Park is reputed to be one of the most visited sights in the US, whatever the season. On visiting this place one can understand why it’s so popular. Located smack in the middle of Manhattan, and yet once you’re there, it feels so calm and serene, a semblance of being far remote from a big city.

Central Park is a must visit oasis in the middle of bustling New York City. Perfect for relaxing, exercising, or exploring, there’s something for everyone, carriage rides, a zoo, boat rentals, and even self-guided tours with QR codes. Plenty of restrooms and seating make it convenient, though snacks and drinks can be pricey, so bringing your own is smart. The park is clean, safe during the day, and full of friendly dogs and playful squirrels. Don't miss grabbing a fresh fruit cup for $5—it’s a treat! A great spot to unwind or enjoy a slice of nature in the city.

Huge park in the middle of the city. It can take more than 1.5 hours to walk the length of it. It includes a small zoo, a children's petting zoo, fountains, a lake, entertainers, children's play areas, a bandstand, rides, amazing historic buildings. No matter what you like, there's something for everyone, and it's such a treat to stroll throughout it and enjoy the relative peace and tranqulity.

Probably the best urban park in America. It was nice to see so many people out, yet the vibe still feel calm. There were a ton of people out strolling with their dogs, as it was a nice day. Unless you plan to spend all day, you won't walk around the entire park in one visit. Many trails, and we saw people boating, playing baseball, and soccer. Nice reflecting pools as well to pitstop at. Despite the large crowds, it felt like the park was neverending, and had space for everyone. Bring your own snacks unless you're prepared to dish out $30+. The park is also kept pretty clean, which is a feat in itself. I'd come back again just to leisurely lounge.

With a group of friends on a beautiful day in April. Walkers: 3 of us love to walk and meandered for a couple of hours through spots you can't get to on wheels (the Ramble, etc.). Almost 6 miles of walking. :) It was beautiful. The cherry trees and flowers were in bloom and there were performers sprinkled throughout. Non-walkers: 7 took pedi-cab tours. They paid $40 each for an hour+ tour with pickup / drop off at Hotel Edison. Feel free to bargain down to ~ half of what is originally offered. Pay in cash. They had a great time, saw the highlights and got good pictures.

Strolling along the tree-lined trails, you see people sweating on the playing fields and feel the vitality of the city. We also rented a small boat to row gently on the lake and enjoy a quiet time. Although there are many tourists, this natural beauty makes us feel relaxed. Overall, Central Park is the perfect place for couples to relax and enjoy their lives.

A large piece of nature and tranquility right in the bustling heart of the city – Central Park is Manhattan's green lung and a welcome contrast to the gray skyscrapers. The park offers numerous sights, activities, and beautiful paths that invite you to take relaxing strolls. Since the park is truly massive, I’ve put together a suggestion for a walking tour. It’s a smaller route, which was perfect for us in cold weather. In summer, I would recommend a longer tour – perhaps even by bike.

A wonderful walk. We rented an electric bike and toured the park making stops to enjoy the views. Mandatory stop at John Lenon's corner, where spending time listening to songs and people singing is a nice experience,

How nn take a walk in Central Park during this holiday? Wonderful sunny day that made us taste the best of this gigantic park. Well-kept paths and a path between beautiful trees and squirrels everywhere. I recommend crossing it during the day and not in the evening x nn have the unpleasant surprise of getting lost!
