Nestled in central Manhattan, Central Park is New York City’s lush, urban oasis surrounded by world-class museums, shops, restaurants, and rentals. Spanning 843 acres, Central Park is two and a half miles long and half a mile wide, filled with walking paths, green meadows, sparkling bodies of water, scenic woodlands, and so much more.

Central Park is home to an array of popular attractions for residents and visitors alike, including the Shakespeare Garden, Strawberry Fields, the Central Park Zoo, the Great Lawn, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the American Museum of Natural History.
