Central Park Updates
Central Park Escape
Central Park’s 843 acres represent 6% of the total surface of the island. It features a variety of terrains and vistas, ranging from the beautifully sculptured balustrades of Bethesda Terrace to the woodsy solitude of the Ramble. It offers each New Yorker, however much jaundiced and jaded, escape from the clamorous confines of the urban environment and insight into ourselves, not to mention the glimpse of the occasional raccoon. Central Park allows us to breath, to stretch, to discover possibilities and see around corners and into the great curved horizon that is so often hidden.
And sometimes it just lets us off the leash.
