The huge Central Park in the heart of New York is in stark contrast with the concrete jungle that the city is.
A beautiful serene park in the center of hustle-bustle New York City’s Manhattan.
I visited Central Park during winter and although there wasn’t snow at most of the places, the lake was frozen. The park was crowded despite the weather. I liked taking my time for a slow walk, just to enjoy a cold winter afternoon, looking at people and children playing while sipping a hot coffee in hand.
I decided to visit only one section of it within the limited time available and chose the Strawberry Fields. Beautiful is an understatement and wish I had more time to see every section of the huge Central Park. There was indeed so much to see.
This place is a gem in Manhattan, hence my advice to folks would be ‘don’t leave New York without visiting Central Park’.
Central Park offers several tourist attractions that can be covered by biking or riding 2-wheeler scooters but I preferred to walk around to warm up myself in the cold winter of December when I visited there.
With the seemingly infinite number of foot and bike paths that weave and wind their way through a vast expanse of towering trees, foliage, fields, and greenery of all kinds, Central Park is very much a place that must be experienced first hand in order to fully take in all the charm and splendor it has to offer.
I promise myself to return here in summer the next time.
