Central Park is a large public park in the borough of Manhattan in New York City .
With the revival of the city and the park in the new century , Central Park has given birth to arts groups dedicated to performing in the park , notably Central Park Brass , which performs an annual concert series and the New York Classical Theatre , which produces an annual series of plays . Central Park was home to the famed New York City restaurant Tavern on the Green which was located on the park 's grounds at Central Park West and West 67th Street .
