Central Park

*"It's a miracle the fact that this park even exists. The fact that this city hasn't torn it down to put up high-rises."*
―Alexandra Reid[src]**Central Park** is an urban park located in New York City.

It was the location in which Thor and Loki departed Earth for Asgard in 2012.

In 2015, after being reunited with his family, Frank Castle took them to Central Park. However, in order to cover up their illegal actions that they believed Frank to have leaked, William Rawlins and Ray Schoonover organized a deal between Mexican Cartel, Kitchen Irish, and the Dogs of Hell in the park. At the same time D.A. Samantha Reyes set a trap in the park to bring "Blacksmith", Schoonover's alias, down, but decided not to clear the park of civilians, including the Castle family. In the chaos that followed, Castle's family was murdered, leading him on a quest for vengeance.

Castle later visited the site of the massacre at least twice: once, where he was ambushed by Kitchen Irish, and another to confront Billy Russo.

After returning to the United States, Danny Rand briefly resided in Central Park, where he met Colleen Wing. Rand and Wing would later duel Davos and Bakuto. Wing killed Bakuto, before his body was taken away by the Hand.

Alexandra Reid and Madame Gao discussed their plans for New York at Central Park.

In 2018, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts discussed a dream he had that they had a child who they had named Morgan after Potts' eccentric uncle, but Potts told him that they couldn't after he had started working on his suits again. However, their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Doctor Strange, who asked Stark for his help.

Later that year, while spreading the word of Pan's death and trying to recruit nature spirits for the impending war, Grover Underwood was knocked unconscious by Morpheus. He is asleep for several months and is awoken with his Empathy Link when Percy Jackson and Nico di Angelo search for the second entrance to the Underworld. Once he was awake, Underwood explained why he was in Central Park to begin with and then opened the entrance to the Underworld with his reed pipes. Later, during the Battle of Manhattan, Percy Jackson duelled the Titan Hyperion, and eventually gained the upper hand when he created a small hurricane to douse Hyperion's fiery aura. Grover and his friends then successfully trapped him inside a maple tree.

However, their conversation was interrupted when Doctor Strange appeared via Inter-Dimensional Portal, who told Stark that he needed his help and the fate of the universe was in the balance. Stark was unwilling to trust Strange immediately, until Bruce Banner appeared and greeted his old friend. Stark then left Potts and went into the portal.

In November 2022, Peter Parker took possession of the Macchina di Kadavus, which caused Doctor Strange to transport them both into the Mirror Dimension. Parker evaded Strange and entered Central Park. Strange caught up to him and used Inter-Dimensional Portals to make a subway train crash through in order to stop Parker. However, this attempt failed and Parker and Strange proceeded their chase beyond the park.

In December 2022,the LARPers held multiple meetings in Central Park, with Clint Barton, Kate Bishop, and Emmett Baxter all participating in some fashion.

In an alternate universe, known as Dimension 838, an organization called the Illuminati, set up their headquarters in the center of Central Park.
