Posąg Alicji w Krainie Czarów

Udajemy się do Conservatory Water lub lepiej znanego jako Central Park Model Boat Pond. Miniemy brązowy portret Hansa Christiana Andersona, czytający Brzydkie kaczątko z głównym bohaterem u jego stóp. Jak wiemy, był to w rzeczywistości łabędź. Przejdziemy też obok słynnej herbatki Alicji w Krainie Czarów zorganizowanej pod rzeźbą Szalonego Kapelusznika. Podarowany w 1959 roku przez George'a Delacorte ku pamięci jego żony, która często czytała swoim dzieciom Alicję w Krainie Czarów Lewisa Carrolla. Ta rzeźba ma codziennie wielu małych gości; to trzeba zobaczyć. Delacorte podarował również zegar muzyczny w zoo w Central Parku.

Fontanna Bethesda

Bethesda Terrace, najbardziej rozpoznawalna część Central Parku. Możemy przyjrzeć się sufitowi z płytek Minton, który otwiera się na Fontannę Bethesda. Rzeźba Angel of Waters ma 26 stóp wysokości, stworzona przez Emmę Stebbins i jest jedną z pierwszych publicznych dzieł sztuki zamówionych przez kobietę. Oznacza akwedukt Croton z 1842 roku, który dostarczał świeżą wodę z hrabstwa Westchester do Nowego Jorku. Było to bardzo ważne dla zakończenia epidemii cholery. Lilia w jej dłoni reprezentuje czystość, a cztery postacie u podstawy oznaczają pokój, zdrowie, czystość i umiarkowanie. Anioł jest wzorowany na aktorce teatralnej Charlotte Cushman. Zatrzymujemy się również nad jeziorem w Central Parku i podziwiamy żółwie, które uczyniły to jezioro swoim domem.

Truskawkowe Pola, Memoriał Johna Lennona

Strawberry Fields zostało stworzone, aby upamiętnić autora tekstów i legendę Beatlesów, Johna Lennona, którego życie zostało niestety odebrane 8 grudnia 1980 roku od ran postrzałowych Marka Davida Chapmana, gdy przechodził przez bramę swojego budynku. Miał zaledwie 40 lat i stał się znanym działaczem na rzecz pokoju. Jego prochy są rozrzucone tutaj, w Central Parku, więc dla wielu fanów Beatlesów jest to święta ziemia. Mozaika „Obraz” została podarowana przez miasto Neapol we Włoszech. Poświęć chwilę, aby cieszyć się tym spokojnym pomnikiem wśród amerykańskich wiązów.

Park Centralny

Gdy wyjdziemy z Strawberry Fields, miniemy fontannę Cherry Hill. Ta fontanna została pierwotnie stworzona jako fontanna do picia dla koni. Dziś wiele ptaków korzysta z płynącej wody jako własnej kąpieli dla ptaków, a także pije z jednego z sześciu kielichów na głównym trzonie fontanny. Również popularne miejsce na zdjęcia.

5

Most Łukowy

Przejdziemy przez The Bow Bridge; ten charakterystyczny most w Central Parku był miejscem wielu propozycji małżeństwa i być może znasz już jego sławę, ponieważ jest to również jeden z najczęściej fotografowanych mostów w Central Parku. Pojawia się też w wielu filmach.

6

Zamek Belweder

Zamek Belvedere zbudowany na Vista Rock o wysokości 130 stóp jest drugim co do wysokości punktem w Central Parku. Obecnie główna wieża jest naszym źródłem prędkości wiatru do prognozowania pogody, a na południe od zamku znajduje się stacja pogodowa, zautomatyzowany system obserwacji powierzchni (ASOS). To tutaj Nowy Jork zbiera dane meteorologiczne z tego pięknego punktu, więc koniecznie sprawdź prognozę pogody podczas swojej wizyty. U podnóża zamku Belvedere znajduje się Turtle Pond, nazwany na cześć jego mieszkańców.

Ogród Szekspira

Shakespeare Garden to piękna przestrzeń o powierzchni czterech akrów, obsadzona drzewami i kwiatami, o których wspominano w sztukach i wierszach Williama Szekspira. Wychodzimy z Central Parku podziwiając szwedzki domek, w którym obecnie mieści się Teatr Marionetek, niestety nadal zamknięty z powodu covidu, ale zachwycający dzieci od 1947 roku.

Alice in Wonderland Statue

We make our way to Conservatory Water or better know as Central Park Model Boat Pond. We will pass Hans Christian Anderson bronze portrayal, reading from The Ugly Duckling with its main character at its feet. As we known it was in fact a swan and we will also pass by the famous Alice In Wonderland Tea Party held by the Mad Hatter sculpture. Donated in 1959 by George Delacorte in memory of his wife who often read Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to their children. This sculpture has many little visitors daily; it is a must see. Delacorte also donated the musical clock in the Central Park Zoo.

Bethesda Fountain

Bethesda Terrace, the most recognized area of Central Park. We can take in the Minton tile ceiling which opens up to the Bethesda Fountain. The Angel of Waters sculpture stands 26 feet high, created by Emma Stebbins, one of the first public art commissioned from a woman. It marks the 1842 Croton Aqueduct that brought fresh water from Westchester County into NYC. This was very important in ending the Cholera Epidemic. The Lily in her hand represents purity and the four figures at the base signify peace, health, purity and temperance. The Angel is modeled after stage actress Charlotte Cushman. We also stop by the Central Park lake and admire the turtles who have made this lake their home.

Strawberry Fields, John Lennon Memorial

Strawberry Fields was created to memorialize the Beatles songwriter and legend John Lennon whose life was sadly taken on the 8th of December 1980 from gunshot wounds from Mark David Chapman as he walked through the archway of his building. He was only 40 years old and had become a notable Peace Activist. His ashes are scattered here in Central Park so for many Beatles fans this is sacred ground. The "Image" mosaic feature was gifted by the city of Naples, Italy. Take a moment to enjoy this peaceful memorial amongst the American Elm trees.

Central Park

As we make our way out of Strawberry Fields we will pass the Cherry Hill Fountain. This fountain was originally created as a drinking fountain for horses. Today many birds take advantage of the flowing water and use it as their own bird bath, they also drink from one of the six cups on the fountain's main stem. Also a popular photo destination.

Belvedere Castle built on Vista Rock sitting 130 feet high, it is the second highest point in Central Park. In present day the main tower is our source of wind speed for weather reporting and just south of the castle the current weather station, an automated surface observing system (ASOS) is located. This is where New York collects meteorological data from this beautiful point so make sure to check the weather report on your visit. At the base of Belvedere Castle lies Turtle Pond, named for its inhabitants.
