The Central Park and Bryant Park!

Hello everybody,

today i am gonna talk about the two nicest parks to me in New York. One of them i am pretty sure that everybody knows is the Central Park!
Well, the Central Park is one of the most famous park around the world and i am not sure if you knew it but, the Central Park was built up! Yes the Central Park was a piece of land with some trees and in 1858 Fredrick Law Olmsted and Calvent Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park. The construction began in the same year and it was completed in 1873.
The Central Park has several attractions where you can visit for instance, some lakes, ponds, extensive walking tracks, bridle paths, two ice-skating rinks so forth.


Central Park is much more than I expected, it is a great place to go during weekends to practice some sports or just to chill out.
Within the most popular attractions it has, the Great Lawn which is a big piece of land with green grass is the most sought, you can play sports, read or simply enjoy the day, Central Park also has the "The Mall" which is a famous aisle where has been had a lot of movies shot,  you also can cross the park from the west side to the east side.
 During the winter time you can visit the ice-skating rinks that are located in the park, they have two and either are nice!
I think that is all about the Central Park, if you wanna know more, you should come to see it with your own eyes!  =)

Now let's talk about the Bryant Park which is much smaller than the Central Park but it is a really nice place to spend your late afternoons and your lunch time. It is located in the middle of  Midtown bounded by Fifth Avenue, Sixth Ave, 40th St and 42St.



With a big green lawn this park is the most occupied park in the world with an attendance of 800 people per acre,the park during the summer is a very popular place where people go to have lunch, to spend a time on the lawn reading, or just stopping by to take a breath or to drink a coffee at the Bryant Park Cafe before keeping your way home. At the winter time they build up a really nice/charming ice-skating rink surrounded by a lot of Kiosks selling souvenirs. The ice-skating rink is free if you have your own skates, but if you don't you will have to rent those.


Summarizing, either Central Park or Bryant Park are really nice place to chill out and to have a good time. Now it is up to you to choose each one you like more!

Well folks, that's all !
