Since
its completion in 1873, Central Park has continually been one of
the top tourist destinations of NYC. New Yorkers depend on it as
the one true refuge and sanctuary the city offers. Tourists flock
to such treasures as Strawberry Fields, Bethesda Terrace, The Ramble,
and the secluded, beautiful Conservatory Gardens.
Vaux
and Olmsted's 843-acre masterpiece is a sight no tourist should
miss! Walking its sculptured gardens and it's lovely promenades,
or hiking its Northern Woods and forested brooks is the only true
way to appreciate its beauty.
History making as the
first landscaped urban park, revolutionary in design, Central
Park continues to make history today as a stunning example of
urban renewal and joint public-private maintenance.
