Central Park West - New York City (USA)

Central Park West | West 93rd Street 30/04/2015 15h05
The traffic along Central Park was a bit congested. Must have been the nice weather of the moment.
Along the curb a small Chevrolet Spark with next to it double parked on the bike path a Buick Enclave.

Central Park
Central Park is an urban park in the central part of the borough of Manhattan, New York City. It was initially opened in 1857, on 315 ha of city-owned land, later expanding to its current size of 341 ha.
In 1858, soon-to-be famed national landscapers and architects, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they titled the "Greensward Plan". Construction began the same year, continued during the American Civil War further south, and was completed in 1873. It was designated a National Historic Landmark (listed by the U.S. Department of the Interior and administered by the National Park Service) in 1962. The Park was managed for decades by the New York City Department of Recreation and Parks and is currently managed by the Central Park Conservancy under contract with the municipal government in a public-private partnership. The Conservancy is a non-profit organization that contributes 75% of Central Park's $57 million annual budget and employs 80.7% of the Park's maintenance staff.
Today, Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States as well as one of the most filmed locations in the world.
