New York has a different atmosphere, much more fast-paced and urban, There was a lot going on and you were never bored. -Desiree Fernandez, C/o 2017

CEntral Park

Located in Manhattan, Central Park attracts millions of people a year to it's beautiful landscape and scenery while still being in the heart of New York City. Conveniently, there is a stop along the subway line that will brings riders to the entrance of Central Park. Once arrived, the visitor has the opportunity to take a stroll and view the large pond filled with ducks, bridges, an even ice skating in the winter. This 843 acre park gives the city vegetation and a place of leisure while still being surrounded by many large buildings. It also acts as an area for the commmunity to take a break from the New York rush, gather to create a culture, and actually interact with nature and the city itself.
