Central Park is sporadically covered with gigantic glaciated boulders. I climbed to the top of one and took this picture.Covering over one square mile of Manhattan is New York’s famous Central Park. It consists of two skating rinks, 37 playgrounds, a 106-acre reservoir (among several smaller lakes and ponds), a Central Park zoo, over 26,000 trees and 200 species of birds.
Fall is one of the more popular seasons to visit Central Park for obvious reasons. The temperature is crisp, the air is clean, the leaves are breathtakingly beautiful and everyone seems to be in a pleasant mood.
If you want to jog through the trails, play catch on a grassy knoll or just relax on a park bench and catch up on a good book, I believe Central Park is one of the most inviting getaways that New York City has to offer.Growing up on a small farm in East Texas provides more serenity and privacy, but for now, I’ll enjoy the substitution of car horns for donkey brays as best I know how.
Fact - In 2009, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg cut more than $5.6 million in funding from the parks and recreation budget, causing job losses for 167 employees.
