Things to do in New York City: Central Park

Central Park is by far the greatest park in the world. Being in New York City, it gives people a quiet, relaxing place to be. With trails to walk, skate, and bike, and baseball fields to have pick-up games, Central Park is a great place to exercise. For children, the Park is great because it has multiple play grounds and even a Zoo that is sure to please.

There are also multiple ponds where people can either row their own boats, or use remote-control sail boats.

For the people who just want to relax, the Sheep Meadow is a dedicated place for silence (picture below, left).
