I love the idea behind this book — it’s very quick, useful, and straight to the point. The concept is unique, offering 4 different routes through Central Park depending on your mood and needs, with clear route explanations, maps, pictures, and highlights of iconic places. It also includes some fun facts and history about the park. Central Park is such a significant and well-beloved part of New York, and this book really captures that magic. If you live in New York, plan to visit, or just want a book that can mentally transport you there while learning more about its background, definitely give it a shot!

This is great! It would be actually great to to be able to listen to this while walking through Central Park and following this walks.

This wasn't what I expected, but I learned a lot about Central Park, not just the sights but history and literary references. The first 4 sections are like guides to different sections, and it's all in verse. The photos aren't modern and there's so many interesting stories about the Park through the years.
I've only been to Central Park once for a few hours and I was chaperoning teens but it was easily the best part of the trip. It's easy to see how it's influenced so many artists, and there are multiple selections from literary works that I enjoyed.
I would have liked more photos but this is a great introduction to Central Park.
