Central Park

Central Park is an 843-acre (341 ha) landscaped park in the middle of Manhattan, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux after their Greensward Plan of 1858 and completed in 1876. Its meadows, lakes, woodland paths and bridges, the Ramble, the Reservoir and Bethesda Terrace lie between the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side.
