Central Park is a green oasis in the middle of Manhattan. Besides
being the largest park of the city (at approximately 3.2 Km²),
it is a peaceful area for New Yorkers.
Central Park has several small lakes, the largest of which is
called The Reservoir. The park is surrounded by skyscrapers, creating
what looks like a giant amphitheater.
Located within the park, the Central Park Zoo inspired authors
and cartoonists to create the famous animated film Madagascar.
It is an oasis within the city, where millions go to relax, jog
or visit the locations where some of the most famous films were
shot.
Central Park offers a multitude of colors during all seasons
and provides beautiful walking paths. The park is divided in two
areas, the southern and northern part, where you will find the
most ravishing areas, particularly around the Jackie Onassis Reservoir.
Near the lake , you will find the famous Strawberry Fields, an
area dedicated to the memory of John Lennon, who was killed in
1980. Visit this area to enjoy peace and quiet, and admire the
mosaic floor bearing the word “Imagine”.
