One of the first large-scale,
master-planned urban parks, this massive 850 acre green space serves
as the recreational heart of New York City.
The park is abutted by many-storied
buildings on every side, yet it remains a very relaxing park setting.
You can see in this picture something
that is all over the park, but not something you'd expect to see in
Manhattan--rock outcroppings. Sometimes very large in size the
patches "slickrock" provide an interesting feature to the typical
trees-and-lawn park setting. |
