Mapping 843 acres of urban oasis is no walk in the park. Pun totally intended. But urban oasis, indeed because Central Park is in the middle of Manhattan. It stretches from 59th Street to 110th Street. The park is between Fifth Avenue and Central Park West.

Key sites in Central Park are Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, and the Central Park Zoo. Anyone who enjoys nature can try its walking paths, bike lanes, or playgrounds. Try renting a bike here. I really enjoyed that the most.
