New York : Central Park (Totally Landscaped!)

Back to my post from my trip to New York 2 years back. Sorry. This is a really backdated post but I had not started this blog back then and I was caught up with blogging about our recent trips to the three different Club Meds in the region.

If anyone is to ask me to name places that I would love to visit when I am in New York, besides the famous Time Square, the next that comes to my mind is the Central Park.

Of course, we have heard some horror stories of how unsafe it was but apparently this were a thing of the past. Then again, visiting this magnificent park in broad daylight cannot be a bad idea.

Located at the center of Manhattan within walking distance from our hotel, this public park is truly a magnificent piece of work. This HUGE public park covers 843 acres of land, gardens, walkways, jogging tracks, ponds, rivers, benches and shades where one could just lie down on the green green grass and just gazed right into the clear blue skies above. And the best thing is that none of the trees there were there naturally but rather they were planted there. The fact is that Central Park is a huge landscaped garden that were made to look as natural as it can be ....

Central Park was designated as a National Historic Landmark since 1963 and is reported to receive well over 35 million visitors every year !

On our fourth day in New York, we took a stroll through this public park. Due to her vastness, we only managed to cover just a very small portion of it but enough to feel what she has to offer, the tranquility and serenity in the hustling busy New York, the sudden feel of being back to the nature and loving it, forgetting the worries and the cut throat deals that we have just left behind once we walked into the park .....

If I had more time, I would love to just sit on one of her many benches and just watched other people passing by and get totally immersed in a time zone that only Central Park New York offers ....

If you are ever in New York, don't just remember your shopping at 5th Avenue. Find and make time to experience the tranquility of this awesome public park, also reputed to be the most visited urban park in United States....
