Central Park is one of the most frequently visited urban parks in the world, with over 25 million guests per year. Created in the 1860s and '70s by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the park was designed as a leisure space for all New Yorkers, regardless of class or colour.

Set in the middle of Manhattan, Central Park is a "people's park" that attracts crowds of New Yorkers including athletes, musicians, and strollers. Spreading across a lush 341 hectares (843 acres), the park features scenic hills, rolling meadows, European-style gardens, playgrounds, a lake, a carousel and more. Not only is it the first public park built in America, but it is also one of New York City's most famous and photogenic landmarks that have witnessed countless movies and TV shows being filmed here over the years. The range of activities to enjoy here is abundant, alongside the many tours you can venture on, definitely worth a visit when in the Big Apple.
