Geocache Description:


Welcome to Central Park

 

((please remember urban caching requires stealth))

 

I absolutely love urban caching, especially ones where you have to rely on your geosense, which is a great thing in NYC! 

If you've been searching for this whole series, this would certainly be a good spot to stop and take a break smiley

Happy Caching!

CENTRAL PARK

 

Although it looks like a well-preserved snapshot of Manhattan's natural origins, Central Park is, in fact, man-made. It was designed and constructed by architects Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1850s and 1860s officially opened in 1873.

Today, after many additions and renovations, Central Park is a compelling, vital, vibrant part of Manhattan. From its architecture, to its artwork, to its "natural" beauty, there's little wonder why it remains such an attraction for tourists and native New Yorkers alike.

And though they only arrive for but a few weeks each year, springtime and autumn in The Park are events not to be missed.

Central Park is an iconic oasis in the heart of Manhattan, New York City. Spanning over 800 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the world. Visitors to Central Park can enjoy a wide range of activities, from picnicking on the Great Lawn to exploring the tree-lined paths on foot or by bike. The park is home to a zoo, multiple lakes, and several iconic landmarks including the Central Park Conservatory Garden and the Alice in Wonderland statue. With its diverse flora and fauna, stunning views, and numerous attractions, Central Park truly has something for everyone.

Central Park, Manhattan was named after its central location within the city. The park sits in the heart of Manhattan and was designed to provide a beautiful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The name "Central Park" reflects the central location of the park within the city's grid system and also highlights its importance to the community. In the mid-1800s, city officials recognized the need for a large green space in the center of Manhattan, and Central Park was created. Today, Central Park remains a beloved landmark and an essential part of the New York City experience, offering countless opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and cultural enrichment.
