Gorgeous and peaceful wild nature oasis in the middle of one of the world’s busiest cities . Personally, the best part of Central Park at any time of the year.

If you run, walk, or cycle the park , hang a turn into the north woods and suddenly you escape the city into a quiet fairly land...great way to let your mind blend with nature and expand your senses.

North Woods is probably the quietest and most remote-feeling part of Central Park
