Course à pied de Central Park

Aperçu
"La nature d'abord, deuxième et troisième - l'architecture après un certain temps", était la devise des architectes de Central Park. Il est difficile d'imaginer que tout dans Central Park a été mis là par conception, mais c'est exactement ce que vous vivrez lors de la tournée de course à pied de Lower Central Park. La partie inférieure du parc présente l'architecture paysagère la plus ambitieuse jamais mise en œuvre aux États-Unis et escorte comme par magie le spectateur hors de la ville et dans un parc paisible.

À quoi s'attendre

Columbus Circle
Columbus Circle, named for Christopher Columbus, is a major landmark and point of attraction in Manhattan. Completed in 1905 and renovated a century later, it is located at the intersection of Broadway, Central Park West, Central Park South (59th Street), and Eighth Avenue, at the southwest corner of Central Park. The traffic circle was designed by William P. Eno, a businessman who pioneered many early innovations in road safety and traffic control, as part of Frederick Law Olmsted's vision for the park, which included a "Grand Circle" at Merchants' Gate, its most important Eighth Avenue entrance.
2
The Dakota
The Dakota, constructed from October 25, 1880 to October 27, 1884. The architectural firm of Henry Janeway Hardenbergh was commissioned to do the design for Edward Clark, head of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. The firm also designed the Plaza Hotel.

Strawberry Fields, John Lennon Memorial
Strawberry Fields is a 2.5 acre area of Central Park that pays tribute to the late Beatle, John Lennon, singer, songwriter, musician and peace activist. To commemorate his life, talents and memory, on March 26, 1981, City Council Member Henry J. Stern designated this area, the Lennon and Ono’s favorite in Central Park, as Strawberry Fields. Named after the title of the Beatles' song "Strawberry Fields Forever," the teardrop shaped region was re-landscaped by the Central Park Conservancy with the help of landscape architect Bruce Kelley and a generous $1 million donation from Yoko Ono.
4
Bethesda Terrace
Offering breathtaking views of both the Central Park Lake and woods, the Bethesda Terrace, located at 72nd Street Cross Drive, is an architectural marvel.

This review has taken me longer than I would like to write, but that's no reflection on how much I enjoyed this tour. My guide, David, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and happy to go at my pace (I was lucky enough to be on a tour all to myself!). I got to take in all of the famous sites of Central Park (and some hidden gems) with the bonus of every one being explained and put into context with a potted history; all this whilst fulfilling my desire to run in Central Park. I can highly recommend this to anyone of pretty much any running ability! Thanks David, one of the highlights of our 18 day trip in the US.

I don't know why more people aren't doing this. Central Park is a place that I wanted to run in, but as a tourist, I wasn't prepared to a) go running there by myself or b) plan a route to hit the highlights and be able follow it without getting lost. This running tour took care of both concerns. Pre-tour communication with City Running Tours and my guide Sarah was great, and the meeting point was easy enough to get to by subway. There's no minimum number of participants so I had my own private tour. It was a little rainy when we started, but that didn't last very long. The park was beautiful and, in the early morning, was peaceful with mostly other runners, some cyclists and people with their dogs. I appreciated being able to chat with Sarah about the park, and the city, and not have to think about which path to take since the park has so many. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it others

I had a great tour of Central Park with Angie on my first day in NYC. Info about my guide and meeting place was well communicated, so it was easy to meet up. We ran at a comfortable pace and as we passed different points, Angie gave me tons of information about landmarks in and around the park, and other information about the city along the way. She also took pictures along the way and shared them with me afterwards, along with some recommendations for things to do for the rest of our stay. Highly recommended!
