The Grand Vision by Henry Hope Reed Central Park is the largest park in the center of a great city. There are ten subway stations on its borders, and a dozen or more within comfortable walking distance.
Bus lines encircle the park.
No wonder that it is visited all year long, a treasure of discovery in walks, lakes, meadows, and woods. With all of the city's towers of brick, stone, and glass around it the visitor, once in the park, is surrounded by greenery. Few paths lead straight into the park. Instead, they bend away from the entrance, and the city for a moment disappears. At one entrance the path drops to the shore of a pond.
