Throughout the park there are many walking and cycling paths. Inside the Park they have a birdhouse which has many different bird types living there, there is a boathouse cafe and there is also the option to rent kayaks and row boats on this lake. There are many different horse carriage trips you can take. I took a horse drawn carriage trip around the park and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was told many different things about the park and brought through a very pretty scenic route. I found the whole park to be quite pretty and scenic actually.
Many sports take place in the Park. There is a park drive route which is just over 6 miles and cyclists, runners, joggers and in-line skaters all come in the hundreds every week to this route. There are also numerous amount of Baseball fields, volley ball and tennis courts, and also croquet and lawn bowling in the Park. The park also has rock climbing and an ice skating rink which is opens in the winter and is changed to an outdoor swimming pool in summer.
In the Park there is a total of 21 playgrounds. The largest playground has a huge land total of 3 acres. There is a zoo located in the park also 'Central Park Zoo'. It is home to an indoor forest, a leafcutter ant colony, a penguin house and also a Polar bear pool.
Central Park is such a beautiful setting that hundreds of movies have one or more scene shot in the park. So if you're interested in seeing your favourite actor sit on a park bench and you may one day just be in luck! Films such as Remember me, The Avengers, Enchanted, The other Woman, Elf, The backup plan, Maid in Manhattan, Hitch, The Devil wears Prada, Spider man 3, 13 going on 30, the list is honestly endless.
Central Park is definitely such a beautiful park and if in New York I wouldn't miss your chance to see it.
