This place is like a giant playground for New Yorkers. Lots of joggers, cyclists & roller bladers. Theres also an ice rink in the winter and carnival rides during the summer. You can rent a boat at the lake. Theres a zoo and The Metropolitan Musuem is here too. oh yes concerts during the summertime. Central Park is my fave place in New York City.
