Central Park of New York
New York, Manhattan Island, between 59th and 110th Streets and Fifth and Eighth Avenues.
Description:
In the New York borough of Manhattan, urban life is boiling, not quieting down for a minute, and a vivid contrast with the usual environment of the metropolis creates park silence and greenery.
A stronghold of peace and recreation was designed in the 19th century at that time, New York expanded widely every year, and its authorities seriously thought about creating a recreation area for workers who did not have enough funds to often leave the city. Work on moving enough soil to the center of Manhattan and on growing green spaces was carried out for almost twenty years, and the result was the emergence of one of the most famous urban parks in the world.
On the territory of Central Park, there was a place for a spacious skating rink, and meadows, where hundreds of people can sunbathe at the same time in the summer, and numerous ponds, and a zoo inhabited by all kinds of animals. In Shakespeare’s garden, flowers and plants mentioned in the plays of the great playwright are grown, and free Shakespearean performances are held on the stage nearby. There is an observatory in Belvedere Castle. In the summer there are many concerts...
New Yorkers visit Central Park with families, couples, and singles. Wandering between enclosures with animals, leaving coins in the waters of Turtle Pond and finally just lying on the emerald green grass of the Sheep Meadow - what is not the best way to take a breath from the bustle of the metropolis?
