Summertime in Central Park

Central Park used to have a reputation as a rough and dangerous place years ago, but these days it is a quite amazing place to hang out in the summer time. If you stick with the lower side and keep to daylight hours then you should be able to enjoy the beautiful summer weather in the park.

I used to walk to and from work through Central Park a few years ago and expect in the summer months to see:

• Dozens of roller-bladers learning, getting fit and sometimes themselves travelling this way to work.
• Several people out in boats on the lake.
• People playing instruments and practicing to play in different corners and places.
• A number of people playing sports including a spot of baseball, throwing a footbal around or kicking a soccer ball around.
• Sunbathers using the vast space to enjoy some relaxation.
• Joggers using the very large central lake as a route for running around.
• Tourists visiting well-known parts such as Strawberry Fields.

Central Park is almost like a mini city in its own way. I cannot think of anyway better on a sunny day and it is one of the things I love about living here!!!
