Central Park Walk: The Mall, Bethesda Fountain, Strawberry Fields

Central Park isn’t just the most-visited urban park in the US. It’s home to Strawberry Fields, Poet’s Walk, and the most pampered trees in America. It’s also the backdrop of once-in-a-lifetime incidents like the Great Zoo Escape of 1874. This self-guided walking tour isn’t just a walk in the park, it’s a stroll through time with tales of love, loss, laughter, treachery and tragedy at every turn.
