My first trip to NYC was to do a half marathon -- twice round Central Park in the springtime. It was a great experience. I got to know that outer pathway pretty well, especially the hills at the top end. Puff puff.
I have a trip to Central Park buried in my blog somewhere, Alice. Lord, it truly is a wonder - so varied and so wild especially considering its location. It was one of the best landscaping jobs in the history of landscaping - ever - anywhere. Think of what it does for those New Yorkers.
I adore Central Park.I have wonderful memories of my son aged 4 being delighted by the Egyptian Inspired playground( near to the Met. Museum,which he also adored!).I loved this post.
Helen, I'm so impressed...I'm speechless! Would I ever have guessed you were a runner? Half marathon seems like a great thing. Full marathons always seem more like torture to me. Maybe you do those as well? Puff puff puff!!
Hi Steve, I'll be looking out for your post on the Park! Central Park, like Golden Gate Park... an incredible undertaking.
myenglishcountrygarden, Glad you enjoyed a reminder of your visit, and memories of the magnificent Met!
Janet, Stewardship often needs to be taught. Seems everyone doesn't get it off the bat ;~D
These are nice photos from Central Park. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of NY, but I love to see Central Park laid out on a map. It's an amazing green space!
I have always wanted to visit Central Park to get a sense of how beautiful and large it is. Thank you for the photos.
