tranquil, enjoyable and unique. Love it.
Great place for photos
The bike/run trail is approximately 6.8 miles if you start from the south side on 5th Ave. Be sure to stay active and run that ass off.
Twenty years after my first visit CP is still the best part of NY in my view .

Nice place for running
Rent a boat for an hour and paddle around the lake.
$20 deposit (so you get back) and $12 for first hour for rowboats. Really a value for such an experience!
I’m not sure I can add anything to what has already been said.
It's a wonderful and peaceful place !
When rowing, face backwards and pull the oars. It's amazing how many douchebags don't know how to row a boat.
Take a boat out and do some rowing! Had great fun.
Stay to the left

Lots of slow-movingtourists, screaming children, overly affectionate couples, and obnoxious teenagers.
Look out for the turtle heads poking out from the water!
Check out the RUMBA every SUnday
