Top 20 MUST SEE Places in CENTRAL PARK

[@lisaharrington6488]

Just like most large cities, you usually hear more negatives than positives about NYC. I think it's great that you show us the positives! Thank you!

[@ElizabethOrtiz-vf8fc]

It's interesting that you mentioned The Central Park Conservatory. I used to work at a day care center across the street. My co-workers & I used to take our students to the park,for a walk & to walk through the gardens.

[@waynegill137]

She did not mention that in 1820 a group of Africans Americans bought property in the area, built homes and established a Black community known as Seneca Village. I'm not sure when, however, it was decided that New York needed a park. These African American residents were forced out of the area and Central Park was established.

[@DashingDesignDiva]

Right!!!

[@MrHarlemHarris]

That MAJOR PART!

[@brendadrew834]

Possibly, one of the most gorgeous city parks in the world, imho! Used to hang out in Central Park and the MET every weekend when I lived on the Upper East Side, many moons ago! Went to concerts there and saw Shakespeare's plays at the Delacorte Theatre which the late great Joseph Papp started! Also went to the zoo and the merry go round as a kid! Row boating was fun as well! Olmsted also designed the Public Garden park in Boston as well as Mt.Auburn Cemetery, one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world like Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris. Boston's Back Bay /Commonwealth Ave was actually designed after the great boulevards of Paris. I have a great coffee table book on Central Park with wonderful large photos where one would never guess they were in the middle of the Big Apple! Big loss if we didn't have Central Park, imho!! Thanks for sharing~ ALL NYC and thank you Frederick Law Olmsted, a brilliant landscape architect!

[@brendadrew834]

P.S. some other facts to add, the statue of the angel on top of the Bethesda Fountain, a great hang out during the Hippie days of the 1960s/early 1970s was sculpted by a woman, the reservoir is the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir now because she used to jog around it all the time and used to take her granddaughter Rose and Tatiana to the merry go round and for ice cream cones in the park before she passed away in 1994. Other than that, great job on this wonderful video....didn't know about many lesser known places like Turtle Pond. Something for everyone!

[@Meira750]

And technically, even tho the American Museum of Natural History isn't in the park, it IS an integral part of the experience. My Mom often took me to the zoo and carousel then to the Museum. Although I no longer support zoos, I have many fond memories of the one in Central Park.

[@cosmomcfloso5820]

I Never knew how incredible and beautiful Central Park could be

[@rushrush1209]

Central Park is the best part of NYC IMO. When you're there, you barely hear any noise of the streets if you're near the center of the park. Also the hot dog vendors aren't allowed to charge more $3 for dogs in the park, or it was that way a couple of years ago.

[@dwill123]

“Wollman Skating Rink” home of the Schaefer Music Festival, summer time during late 1960s until late 1970s. Location for some of the best concerts ever held in New York City. When I went (mid 1970s) ticket prices were $1 and $2 (and not a bad seat in the place).

[@shadeyxo]

Just googled it, I had no idea about this! Great artists for even greater prices. What a time to be alive

[@VScott-uq1pj]

I surely didn't know about the rooftop garden at The Met.

[@songbirdforjesus2381]

Somewhere in the Park, there is a bench dedicated to Guy Williams, a native NYer, whose real Italian Name Escapes Me, is Zorro on the Zorro TV show which reads, "Into the night, when the Pale Moon is bright Comes The Horseman known as Zorro!"

[@bearcb]

He was also the father of the family Lost in Space.

[@albertoalbertoni9529]

I would come to NYC first of all to visit Central Park, it has always fascinated me.

[@oltlghfan2008]

You can also visit The Pool and The Harlem Meer in the northern part of the park. In addition, you can also visit The Loche where you can find two small waterfalls. Also, the northern section of the park has the Charles A. Dana Visitors Center that has a little museum inside (free museum). They also have The North Woods. The storytime telling by the Hans Christian Anderson statue only happens on the weekends and it's through September. I think they start it up again in the spring. Alice in Wonderland statue is on E. 74th street, right accross from the Conservatory water. Oh and save yourself $2.00 and get the free maps they offer. 😉

[@juliobandaiglesias7060]

that's a very beautiful park, it has a lot of attractions. I love Central Park !!

[@catherinecoffey8637]

Thank you! My mom would take me to Central Park when I was little.

[@davet1081AA]

Spectacular! No NY visit is complete without a stroll thu Central Park. Threw around some crumbs from my morning bagel & was surrounded by 100s of birds. Lol

[@67tr876]

I aways called conservatory water by sail boat lake as I use to aways take my boat there when I was a kid. So many memories. As well Don't forget central park has gates with there own names and meanings ! Each entrance in to the park is called a gate

[@Nalleman64]

Great video about my absolute favorite place in NYC!

You forgot to mention the Central Park was formerly known as Seneca Village the dwelling place of African Americans.

Good stuff! My heart aches for the poor and lonely exhibit known as the CPZ polar bear. 😢 Not an area per se but I think noteworthy are the small and large biking and running loops. 🤷‍♂️ Good job.

Excellent presentation! I will for sure visit the Big Apple 🍎 now!

[@LouisHansell]

Some sights I like that you didn't mention: a spike that Randel used to mark the street grid. Umpire Rock, which has some fascinating geological clues to Manhattan's past on its top, hiding in plain sight. The erratics, also hiding in plain sight. The walkways/overpasses have some historical significance. Olmstead had been to Hyde Park in London, and saw a problem at intersections, that horse carriages and pedestrians competed at crossings. He designed the overpass (which you show) which allowed carriages to pass over or under the pedestrians. It was the first 'overpass' which the interstate highway system borrowed many years later. When Central Park was planned, one issue was the folks who lived in the area. They were the ones raising sheep that gives the meadow its name

[@willbode8299]

I have visited the Central Park Zoo and the Metropolitan Museum of Art a few times. I would love to see Turtle Pond and have a picnic on Sheep Meadow.

[@amanbrothers]

Wow 😯 so amazing.... First time I watched your channel and I loved it.😍 Comprehensive details of the park really amused me. Keep up the good work...!!!👍

[@rn5979]

Didn't mention northern Central Park, huh? Those, in my opinion, are the parts to stay clear from as much as possible. The only place I'd like to visit one day from there is the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center and I probably should bring my pepper spray!
