CENTRAL PARK ~ NEW YORK CITY ~ JANUARY 2011

On the morning of January 3, 2011 I walked the full 2.5 mile length of Central Park. Although it was a cold morning there were a plethora of people enjoying the many trails and sights of the most famous city park in the world.

~The Reservoir~ All of the ponds and lakes in Central park are man made.

~ Belvedere Castle ~


The park first opened in 1867 on 843 acres of city owned land.

The park was designated a national Historic Landmark in 1963.


In 2005 the park's land was appraised at $528,783,552,000.00



No two bridges are the same in the park.


~ Wollman Skating Rink ~


Many of the walking paths are carved into the natural landscapes of the park.
