Story Behind Central Park: Manhattan’s Backyard, Wilderness by Design

I have been to Central Park before but now I can really appreciate it so much more. I have been inspired! The stories and History bring the Park alive. I had no idea what a story I was about to walk through. How meaningful each area,monument, garden etc. are. It was fascinating to hear how it was funded over the years The guide Kitt told stories so well and with such enthusiasm that I was really impressed. Not only do I plan to learn more about NY from this source but already have passed this along to a friend who will be visiting NY soon. What a treat!

I'm a born and bred New Yorker and have worked as a NYC tour guide for over 20 years !! Even with all that experience, Kitt Garrett's Story Behind Central Park video introduced me to so much I never knew about Central Park !!! You come away with an understanding of the history of its creation, all the challenges the park has faced over the years, the philosophy ( a park for all strata of society ), the animal life, ( yes....wait to you see )) the gardens, lakes, statues, design concepts... the brilliant minds that created it, I could go on and on.... But most important, a million ways to enjoy the park that you never thought of !! if you're visiting New York, of course you must visit Central Park .. But don't go without downloading the pdf and taking it with you ! You can easily follow the narrative, and her photos, past and present are fantastic ! They'll make finding spots to view so easy. This video is by far the most comprehensive one out there. It truly is an awesome achievement !!
