Very nice. It's hard to believe that the park is surrounded by Manhattan. Philadelphia's Fairmount park is also a beautiful park, and the largest intercity park in the country, but it's not surrounded by the city, like central park is.
Central Park is man made; it was designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted and occupies a section of the city that was removed (which is why it is surrounded by the rest of the city); it has a very interesting history.
