Central Park in New York is by far the most famous park in the city and it is arguably the most famous park in the world. However, and what sometimes comes as a surprise to many people who assume the rest of the city is one solid piece of concrete and brick, there are actually a large number of parks located on the various boroughs of New York and many of these are extremely dynamic and attractive to residents as well as tourists. Making a trip to Central Park is frequently considered to be an essential part of the agenda for any hotel guest in New York though they are typically pleasantly surprised to discover all of the other cultural and entertainment offerings in other parks. And many of these events and performances are free to the public.
Washington Square Park is perhaps the second most popular public park in Manhattan, though it is frequently considered to be a find for tourists when they visit the city. It is almost ten acres of land and it is located in the southern neighborhood of Greenwich Viallge. Many of the buildings in this park are owned by New York University , who is also responsible for much of their construction. Graduation ceremonies for the university take place in the park. As is true for most of the parks in New York there are numerous statues in it that represent significant figures from history. George Washington is, appropriately, one of the central statues in this park.
Madison Square Park is another one of the sacred green areas on this small island. New Yorkers are famous for relishing their park space and tourists are frequently amazed by their beauty and all they have to offer. Various performances, celebrations, festivals and events are continually taking place at this park. The summer generally features great music performances and the Madison Square Music begins in June with Ruthie Foster. The David Bromberg Quartet will be performing later in the summer. Bromberg became famous for hit The Hold UP, which he wrote with George Harrison. There are other musical events that are centered on children’s entertainment and appreciation.
