| Description: | Central Park, at the very heart (if not the very heart) of New York City, is one of the most inspiring combinations of architecture, landscape design and urban planning to be found anywhere on the face of the earth. It ranks as a symbol of New York City only behind the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Unlike these two, however, Central Park is dynamic, vibrant; a perpetually changing counterpoint to the brilliant, but static, architectural achievements that surround it. Central Park breathes. It provides a respite from the struggles that have produced the amazing city that surrounds it. It is a place to reflect, to sigh deeply and feel good about it, to let the tension ebb and allow the strictures and pressures of metropolitan enterprise loosen and unwind. The park also satisfies that need that resides in so many city dwellers, in an environment that requires dusting plants as often as watering them, that causes us to lavish our attentions upon wallet-sized window boxes and fret over ficus plants that have seen more near death drama than a revival of “Camille”. A need to be near something living, something growing; a need to be near something green that isn’t attached to our cheese. Central Park is all of these things, and much more. |

A Hidden Wilderness In Central Park
Less than a hundred yards away are some of the toniest hotels in New York City the Hallett Sanctuary lies just a popped champagne cork’s flight from the Plaza Hotel. A virtually untouched wilderness just steps down from Fifth Ave. it is an oasis for migrating birds and dozens of other denizens of the Park. The Hallett Nature Sanctuary was originally set aside as a bird sanctuary in 1934, went through a long period of neglect, but was then restored in the 1980’s. This four acre plot of land is bounded on three sides by the Pond and is only yards away from the bustle of Central Park South and the Plaza Hotel some fifty feet above. Yet here can be found an amazin

Police Department To Increase Patrols In Central Park
The New York Police Department has increased patrols in Central Park after three muggings took place there last weekend. Three people were mugged at gunpoint Sunday morning near East 102nd Street. Police are searching for three suspects – one man was arrested, but released after he wasn’t picked in a line-up. The released suspect is facing a weapons charge because policemen say he had a .38-caliber revolver in his possession. Back on November 2, another man was attacked near the East Drive and the Great Lawn. A week before that, there was another mugging near 97th Street and West Drive. Police do not believe the incidents are connected – I don’t think s

Wollman and Lasker Rinks Now Open
Ice skating in Central Park is easily one of the most picturesque activities to be enjoyed on a winter’s night. Unlike the somewhat overwhelming confines of the Rockefeller Center rink you can actually see stars at the Wollman and Lasker rinks. Feel the cold tingle of New York’s crisp winter air, listen to the music, and take in the incomparable surroundings as you glide (gracefully or not so) around either of Central Park’s ice rinks.
