I took waaaay too many pictures
Here are my favorites:
In 1858 Agriculturalist Frederick Law Olmsted and Architect Calvert Vaux won the competition to design the 750 acre plot that would become Central Park. The plan included sweeping greenspaces and preserving natural terrain while adding dedicated spaces for entertainment. To accomplish this, roads, walkways and bridges were built for visitors to traverse the Park.
Huge rocks for climbing...
Central Park eventually grew to its current 840 acres.

Look at all this beautifully groomed greenspace!
Milton Tile lines the
ceiling of Bethesda
Terrace.
Bethesda Terrace is the
architectural centerpiece
of the Park.
Visitors enjoy a turn around
the lake in row boats.
This bench goes on & on,
around the bend of the
walkway.
The Alice in Wonderland Statue
is a favorite with young
visitors.
Local musicians serenade
Park visitors.
