Central Park is a masterpiece of landscape architecture created to provide a profoundly democratic space and green respite for the City and all its people and to establish New York as one of the great cities of the world.

The opportunities to engage with Central Park are as diverse as the City it calls home. The Conservancy's year-round lineup includes daily programs, seasonal and holiday events, educational opportunities, and ways to give back to your 843-acre backyard.

There's no place like Central Park. Its 843 acres are filled with moments for all New Yorkers—moments of peace, connection, exercise, and escape. Yet what often goes unnoticed is the role of the Central Park Conservancy in creating and protecting your Park moment.
