Stepping In

    When you first walk into New York City, you see billboards, shops, restaurants, and taxis running around. Everything is so busy. But also when you just stop what you're doing and look around, New York is a beautiful place, you see gardens and couples holding hands and music is everywhere.

    You have 3 types of people that come to New York the first one is the people who live there and work there. Next you have the people who work there but don’t live there. Last of all the people who just come to visit also known as the tourists. The tourists shop and usually sight see. But it’s great just to enjoy the city!

     A lot of times whether if you live there or if you're staying at a hotel you might prefer to stand on their stoop on the corner of Houston Street in the borough of Manhattan or you like to go to a local bodega near by.

    They’re are so many famous sights to see, for instance Radio City Music Hall. At Radio City so many things happen there like The Voice, The Rockettes and so much more. Next is the statue of liberty, you can even go in her! So many things happen in New York I can’t cover them all.

          

Central  Park History

    Central Park Is just 1 of the many many  things that make New York City special.

     Central Park took awhile to build and they’re still making improvements. The  idea of Central Park was brought up in 1854 and the man who had the idea wanted it to be a public park but others disagreed.

     It took over 3 years to stop debating, whether if it should be a public or private park.Finally the public park won and started to plan.

     Frederick Law Olmsted was an architect and he was a big part of building Central Park. His landscape designs were flawless. Even though his designs were beautiful not everyone liked them.

     It had to take a big effort to

transform a swampy site that animals still live in, into a beautiful place with zoo's, ice skating rinks, playgrounds, and more

Rudin Family Playground

     Central Park has many playgrounds. But my personal favorite is Rudin Family Playground because it’s funnest.

      Rudin Family playground was the biggest playground made in Central Park. Now I think it’s the second or third biggest playground.

       For toddlers or younger kids they kind of have their own playground. In their playground it includes toddler swings, sand boxes, and a less physical play gym.

      In the older kid playground, it’s more like a park.It has so many fun things. For example they’re are obstacle courses, a jungle gym, gymnastics bar, and even a skateboarding ramp!

      There is even a little something for the parents they just get to sit and talk while watching 
their kids.

      As you can see Rudin Family Playground has something for everyone!

Central Park Zoo

      Here at Central Park Zoo there is more than 30 species.

     Once you walk into this zoo you walk into so many different habitats.You may enter the jungle, the tropics, the ocean, the jungle and so many more habitats. Central Park Zoo can take you anywhere!

    The species you find at Central Park Zoo are amazing.

First of all they have some rare  species. Like for instance The Red Panda, it’s endangered. Also they have amphibians, birds, reptiles, and so much more

   Central Park Zoo will grab your eye,  if it does it is saying go in. Central Park Zoo is awesome well at least in my opinion. What’s yours?

Central Park Mall  

     Central Park has almost everything including a mall. Also the Central Park Mall is very popular, because who can stay away from the mall!

   The mall is my favorite because it is so beautiful, and you get to shop all day. You can spend your whole day at the mall, because they’re are so many different food selections, and so many different stores!

   So when you first walk into Central Park Mall, you see a carpet with a vine covered wall, cause the theme is the jungle. Then when you walk in a little farther you start to see shops and food courts.Then you get so tempted you want to buy everything!

        Going to the Central Park Mall is like putting two malls together cause it is so big and you got the style, the beauty, you got everything

   The mall is a great place to go but the Central Park Mall is amazing!

Central Park Now and Then

   Central Park is different from how it was before all the improvements but I wouldn't say completely different from before.

      Central Park changes throughout the year more and more. For example they  put new benches in, they create new stores,they even rescue endangered animals.Also there might even be more. My point is there is not only 1 design they are usually renovated [renovated means improvements or changes happen to a design]

          

The difference between Central Park then and Central Park now is it changed from a swampy wetland into a beautiful piece of land and architectural masterpiece. Also there are so much more statues in Central Park. For example the Alice and Wonderland Statue I bet everyone likes that one cause I know I do!

   They’re you have it Central Park is a beautiful place and really fun I hoped you learned something new and love Central Park as much as I do

            Thanks for reading!
