Central Park New York

One of New York's top tourist attractions is Central Park. The tree-lined urban oasis stretches for about 2.5 miles and welcomes about 42 million visitors a year. New York's Central Park is twice the size of the Principality of Monaco and ten times the size of the Vatican. Although the park looks very natural, it is actually all man-made. The park consists of 25,000 trees; seven reservoirs; 136 acres of woodland; 250 acres of lawns; 100 kilometers of footpaths; and 36 bridges and arches.
