I've lived in New York all my life, and I haven't been to central park in like 6-7 years. I went to it this past weekend for a few hours and walked around with a few friends, damn! It made me appreciate NY even more! You walk around forgetting your in a city and then you look up and see this:

    I am always amazed at the silence in many parts of Central Park.
    It really is such a beautiful place. So rich in history.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    It really is beautifull and New Yawkers, Im sure, know that they are really lucky to have such a gem in the middle of their city. When I go to New York, Im gonna spend a few days there. So many movies too filmed there, the history..etc.

    yea true.
    you can walk thru one part and have tons of annoying kids and tourists, dog walkers, etc and then walk a bit more and find yourself by a lil lake or creek just by yourself...I like that ;)

    BC - 50 acres
    CP - 843 acres!

    But Boston Common is essentially linked to the Charles River which has open space each side for miles (Emerald Necklace is 1100 acres).

    BC is the oldest park in the nation. The EN was designed by Olmstead - who previously designed Central Park.

    Yeah, the only park in the states that can compare is Golden Gate Park.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    Come on. Do you say that just because being from Boston you're not supposed to like anything from NY?
    Because you really can't compare the two. BC is cute and all, but it is a poor cousin to Central Park.
    Let's call it like it is...
