  • Central Park Spring Guide
    This is a spring like no other. When the world is in disarray, the natural wonder of a new season unfolding becomes a simple joy and a reminder of nature’s profound power to regenerate and revive. The Central Park Conservancy has been New York’s advocate for Central Park for the last four decades. And now, our staff’s role has become even more important as we work to keep the Park clean, safe, and healthy. A vibrant Central Park cleans the air for New Yorkers, provides a place for mental and physical well-being, and brings us together — even when we are kept apart. This spring, we ask you to join us in celebrating the simple miracles of life: the blooming magnolia, the sweeping vistas from a miniature castle, and the community that is New York. IN THIS GUIDE We look forward to a time when we can be together 2 A Note to Park-Goers in the Park. Until then, we hope our Spring Guide 3 Get to Know Central Park’s Spring Blooms provides you with a taste of the season. 4 Preparing for Spring in Conservatory Garden 5 Central Park Activities 10 Central Park Quiz 11 Central Park Map 2 A NOTE TO PARK-GOERS New York City has seen its share of crises, yet despite all we’ve lived through, New Yorkers remain resilient. In times of turmoil, Central Park has always been here, as a respite, an oasis, or simply a quiet place to escape when we feel overwhelmed. This holds true even as the City navigates the coronavirus outbreak.

    Name: Eureka Du Address: 1200 State Street, Utica 13502 NY Email: [email protected] Typography and Information Design PrattMWP College of Art and Design Class #1 Professor: Christina Sharp Content 1.creative brief 4.ideation 2.research 5.development 3.inspiration 6.conclusions Creative Brief In this map project we are selecting a New York State Park, and redesign an engaging and exciting map for the park in Adobe Illustrator for potential visitors through compositions, symbols, icon systems, labels, illustrations, and colors. The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

  • Central Park Self Guided Tours
    Free Tours by Foot - Central Park Self Guided Tours We've developed this self-guided Central Park Tour as a tool to see what Central Park has to offer and how to go about seeing it. It's also a great companion to take along on one of our guided Central Park tours. Quick Park Stats Size: 843 acres Year Started: 1857 Officially Completed: 1873 The park was a massive undertaking. Over 1500 residents had to be cleared from the area, particularly in Seneca Village. Even just preparing the land for landscaping was a feat. The Manhattan schist that makes up the island had to blast apart in many areas using gunpowder. There was more gunpowder used in building Central Park than was used in the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. It was also determined that the soil in the area was not suitable for all of the planting that was planned. The topsoil was removed, and new soil was brought in from New Jersey. All in all, during the park’s construction, more than 10 million cartloads of rubble were carted out. Central Park was designed as an urban oasis to give New Yorkers an escape from the crowded city. The original design for New York, laid out by the City Commissioners in 1811 did not include a park. Between that time and the 1850’s, the city of New York quadrupled in size. As the city got more and more crowded, New Yorkers started seeking a respite. Landscaped cemeteries became a popular place to hang out because they were among the only public green spaces in the city.
