As the most frequented urban park in the nation, Central Park has become a well-known area throughout the entire United States. This 843 acre patch of rolling grass, lakes, streams and general natural beauty has solidified itself into the annals of Americana in a variety of ways. Featured in hundreds of movies and thousands of television programs, Central Park can provide a time of movie sightseeing just as easily as it can provide a day of outdoor activity. Aside from film settings you'll encounter through a Central Park waltz, you'll also find dozens of beautifully artistic fountains and sculptures.
Whether you're looking for a place to play with the children, get a little exercise or even lounge around, Central Park is the premier place to go in New York City. Even if you don't plan on staying around long, Central Park should definitely be atop your list of sights to experience while visiting the Big Apple.
