The 341-hectare park is the most visited urban park in the United States (42 million people) and the most filmed location in the world.
The park is designed in the English style. It has many extensive meadows, several hills, and pedestrian paths. The park’s greatest advantage is the large number of trees (26.000), almost completely covering the city buildings. The park is also attractive in terms of sports and recreation, there are many playgrounds for children, as well as a small zoo-Central Park Zoo.
Among several dozen monuments, the largest and most impressive is the monument to King Władysław Jagiełło of Poland, erected in 1945.
In 1981, one of the most famous concerts in the history of pop music took place in Central Park, played by the duo Simon & Garfunkel.
