I love central park !!!

[sgallagus]

I loved Central Park when I visited. It was so lush and green...I was surprised at how huge it was...and in the middle of all those skyscrapers.

I went in the summer a couple of times, but I'd love to go back in Fall and Winter to see the leaves and maybe take a carriage ride.

Thanks for the video!
