What would New York City be without Central Park? A masterpiece of urban landscape, designed by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, it brings nature, peace and relaxation to every native New Yorker and global visitor alike. Large sedimentary rocks dot the beautifully undulating meadows and small lakes and rivulets, next to small theme gardens, and lovingly built traditional cottages. The Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre is one of the many gems the Park has to offer, and is a must on any visitor s list. There is so much to see and explore in Central Park, that one has to simply experience it, rain or shine.
