Central Park is New York City's crown jewel; it is the lungs of the city. The Park covers 843 acres; we will walk about 2-1/2 miles within the Park. The Tour focuses on the history, art and architecture within the Park. How did the wealthy and powerful Vanderbilt family help bring the oldest man-made object to Central Park? What is the connection between the 1939 World's Fair and an equestrian bronze of a Polish king standing in the Park? Which brother of a U. S. President's assassin help raise funds for a bronze figure of Shakespeare? Many children's books are represent in the Park, which ones? Learn the answers to these questions: Take the Tour; Know More! On this 3-hour, vigorous and comprehensive walking tour you will discover sights that you never could have imagine in the Big Apple. The Park is the backyard for many New Yorkers. You will marvel at sights old and new! The Park opens up the great outdoors to city dwellers. Let me show you how special it is with its hidden treasures.
Here is some of what you will see on your 3-hour, guided walking tour through the greatest urban oasis in the world. All sights are subject to availability: • Two tributes to William Shakespeare • The Mall, not a place to shop, but a quarter-mile long promenade lined with American Elm trees • The lovely Bethesda Terrace, terminus of The Mall • The monument to General Sherman, a daily visitor to the Park in the 1880s • Strawberry Fields, the City's remembrance of John Lennon • The Dakota apartment building where Lennon lived with Yoko Ono, who still lives there • The charming Swedish Cottage • Belvedere Castle, sitting on the highest natural point in the Park, offers sweeping views of the Park • The monument to a Polish king, • The Park's oldest man-made object • The Lake, with its rowboats • The Ramble, the Park's "wild" garden • The Sheep Meadow and the Tavern on the Green, finishing line for the New York City Marathon. • The U. S. S. Maine Memorial Monument in Columbus Circle, where the Tour ends
