CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY.

Il Central Park di New York si estende su ben 800 acri, quindi, a meno che uno non abbia tutto il tempo del mondo, potresti aver bisogno di aiuto per trovare le parti migliori! Sia la gente del posto che i visitatori amano visitare Central Park, in quanto offre calma nella città altrimenti caotica. Ti piacerà passeggiare lungo i sentieri boschivi della Ramble, lungo il lago con l'iconica rimessa per barche e attraverso luoghi famosi come il prato “Sheep’s Meadow”.

 Non c'è carenza di cultura a Central Park! Probabilmente troverai alcuni artisti di strada di talento mentre cammini attraverso Bethesda Terrace Arcade, ma il parco ospita anche il famoso Delacourt Theatre (sede di Shakespeare in the Park) e finiamo il nostro tour al toccante memoriale di John Lennon, Strawberry Fields. Anche se dovrebbe essere un'area silenziosa, molto spesso è facile trovare alcuni fan talentuosi dei Beatles che suonano una o due canzoni.

The Pond
The Pond

The Pond - Located at the southeast corner of the park, near the entrance at Grand Army Plaza, the Pond provides immediate relief from the hustle and bustle of the city just outside. This is due to a veritable wall of trees and shrubs, as well as the inspired landscaping of Olmsted and Vaux, which placed the pond below street level. This entrance was originally designed to handle most of the traffic into the park, and continues to do so until this day.

The Dairy
The Dairy

The Dairy was included in the Greensward Plan, the original plan for the construction of Central Park. Construction began in September 1869. In a progress report written by Olmsted Vaux & Co. to the Department of Public Parks, dated June 6, 1870, the architects stated, "The Dairy [is] a stone structure, the cellar of which connects directly with one of the traffic roads, it being the intention that the building should receive its main supplies from the exterior of the park.

 

The Mall
