Wheres the cheapest place to rent a bike?

I wouldn't use CitiBike for Central Park - there's a $4 fee per each 15 mins after your first 30 mins, so unless you're planning on docking every 30 mins, I'd hire from one of the companies hiring bikes especially for the park.

Are their restrooms

Yes there are restrooms in the park see park map for locations within

is this a fun place

Yes, there is lots of things to see and do. Best if one obtains a map and plan ahead.

Isn’t New York dangerous ?

No its not. Anywhere you go you should be attentive and pay attention to your surroundings. But in manhatten especially you see police walking or driving almost everywhere

At what distance is the central park lake

The Lake is in the center of Central Park, more or less street 79.

Is there any entry fee? If yes, how much?

To the park itself, there are no entry fees. There are a lot of activities that can be done within the park itself that might require an entry fee but for the most part a lot of the activities hosted are free.

How is the few

few

Is there cherry blossom in central park now?

Yes. Beautiful.

Does anyone know where the dog run is located in Central Park? Went once couldn't find it.

There isn't one. Dogs are allowed off-leash between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and then 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Is the ice rink located in Central Park? If so, how long is it there for?

There is an ice rink in Centel park. Located in the South Eastern part of the park. Generally open during the colder months and weather dependent.

One of my favorite places on earth. It’s become a pilgrimage for me to walk up the Mall, past the vendors and musicians, down into Bethesda Terrace and Fountain. This place is so cliche for good reason.

This is the most magnificent park in the world!I came here with my gf last year in the summer, we had the most incredible time of romance and lust. Many of it spent here at Central Park, we often came to the park at night when it was quiet, we gazed at the stars whilst pondering on how astoundingly beautiful the park is. We took wine and sushi there with us and ended up sitting out until sunrise, it was magical and an experience we will never forget.

This is the Southwest corner of Central Park. Entry from Columbus Circle.Upon entry, and if you stay left, you will come across a little haven of a glade with benches and a small picnicking area.While Central Park continues to buzz around you. Enjoy. ✌🏽💗🙏🏽

It is rather challenging to adequately convey the enchanting and enthralling characteristics of Central Park through the written word alone.With a seemingly infinite number of foot & bike paths that weave & wind their way through a vast expanse of towering trees, foliage, fields, and greenery of all kinds. Central Park is very much a place that must be experienced first hand in order to fully take in all the charm and splendor it has to offer.

The ideal place to wind down and forget the busy NYC life, this place is just LOVE! Very beautiful and stimulating. Central Park Created in late 1800s and designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Central Park contains twenty named gates. Four of these gates are positioned at the corners of the park, each of which contains a circle or plaza. There is so much to see and explore in Central Park that one has to simply experience it, rain or shine.

A hidden gem in an out of the way part of the Big Apple. Ask one of the locals for directions. You may have to ask several as Big Applers want to keep it for themselves. Enjoy.

Central Park is so beautiful! We came to New York for our son's 16th birthday present and he had a great time exploring and seeing the beautiful nature scape centered in the middle of this culturally diverse city. It was definitely a memorable trip.

People underestimate how large this park is. It's freaking huge! The luscious greenery, tall trees, and amazing water features almost make you forget you're in the middle of Manhattan. People mainly stick to themselves here, but those I did come in contact with were friendly, and more than willing to either provide directions or answer questions about the area. The park is very clearly cared for and kept to a very high standard. One of my favorite places in NYC.

Central park was amazing. It's so peaceful and gigantic. Everything is well laid out. From the walkways, to the benches, the trees and the grass. There's a great deal of space. So you don't feel like everyone is on top of each other. It also provides awesome picnic areas, dating destination, even marriage proposal location and just about any other outdoor activity you can think of. Plus the rich history that's behind the park, is a bonus. It's a blast 👍

The lungs of New York City, an enchanting green area full of ponds, bridges and walkways, monuments, fields for sports, playgrounds, terraces and benches on which to take a break. The statues of Balto and Alice in Wonderland are super cute! A walk or a bike ride in Central Park is not to be missed!

Me and my wife enjoyed our trip to NYC back in Jan 2018. It was unfortunately our last trip (she passed April 13, 2018. NH lymphoma (cancer) .....just shy of her 33rd birthday. I’ll always cherish that trip. Central Park is about 500x better then expected. I really recommend it if you’ve never gone!

Central Park describes itself. Whether you’re visiting or live here, you know it’s an important NYC landmark. You have nature, hiking, dog parks, zoo, ice skating, boat rides, lake, pond, pool, restaurants, etc. The list is endless. You can do anything in Central Park, and any area you enter from you’re bound to find something amazing. Personally I prefer it during the spring and summer when the trees and flowers have bloomed, but when the first snow fall, it’s very beautiful to look at.

I can't remember the amount of times I've been through Central Park I've spent anywhere from just a couple hours walking and enjoying this great historical place I've also spent the entire day. If you don't enjoy Central Park while you're here in New York City you've absolutely missed it. We are lucky as a country and I hope everyone realizes this....please ...."Enjoy"!!

Central Park is fabulous! I suggest you always make time to stop by and take in some much needed park time. There are so many places to check out but starting the 59th street on the east side is a great start. Make your way upTowards 72nd street so you can head over to Bethesda Terrace and Fountain. This is wonderfully created. Not a lot of people now so Wild life is out and about! This is a serene place to chill, run and bike amongst other things. There are so many parts of Central Park this is just one small section worth checking out!

Central park always a great place for some social connection in New York City. After being indoors or isolated in COVID 19 for several weeks, I had to find some natural renewal to feel grounded. Walking through the park allows me to be connected. Watching people, trees, people rides bicycle give you some sense of normal. The park vibrant nature of rocks, playgrounds, trees, birds, food carts give a emotional boost to become a part of its revival that will connect you to your natural senses. This is the best place to be

Even though there were many visitors in the park, spacing was not an issue due to the size of the park. All visitors did have masks on and social distancing was evident. We rode our bikes on Central Park's bike trail that encompassed the whole park. Great photo ops along the route. Public restrooms were open at the entrance of Central Park Zoo.

It's a must visit iconic park. Everyone is aware of social distancing and wearing facemask. Beautiful peaceful scenery, awesome place just to walk and enjoy the scenery. Dispute Columbus Circle being fenced off with steel police barricades, it still doesn't take away from its beauty.

Central Park has always been one of my favorites and a go to when I visited NY. Now that I live here I go when possible, especially now that it's getting more comfortable to move around after all this time in quarantine. Some people might enjoy entering through the southwest entrance on Central Park West and 59th. It's easy to jump in and join the flow of walkers, runners and cyclists. Popular spots within the park are the Zoo, Belvedere Castle, Bethesda Fountain, John Lennon Memorial among others. There's something for everyone. I do wish there were more trash cans, so if you're carrying a bottle water or ice cream please do your part and hold on to your trash until you can properly dispose of it.
