I loved Central Park and I was totally overwhelmed by how massive it actually was! When we looked over the city from one of the sky scrapers it was amazing to see it in relation to the rest of the city, just this huge amount of green juxtaposing with the grey surroundings. When we walked through it was so lovely to see kids playing, teenagers chatting and playing frisbee and adults and the elderly going for walks with their dogs etc. It was really inclusive and a really nice escape from the rest of the city. I loved the lake part as well but unfortunately we didn't have the time to go on the pedalos or cycle round the park which we were planning on doing... although it would have taken much longer than we expected due to the sheer size of the park!
In some spots the trees gave way to reveal the city scape which I thought was a really good symbol of NYC - even amongst the serenity of the wildlife you are reminded of the capitalist society New York is built from.
