History of Central Park

Central Park is the most frequented urban park in the United States and one of the most popular sights to film in the world. It was established in 1857 and became an official National Historic Landmark in 1963.

In the 1960’s a number of events began to be introduced to the park. The Delacorte Theater was constructed and began to host Shakespeare in the Park. The New York Philharmonic Orchestra and Metropolitan Opera began to be hosted on the Great Lawn.

The carousel and Belvedere Castle were later added, as well as two skating rinks, the Central Park Zoo, a wildlife sanctuary, the Conservatory Garden and more. The park has served as inspiration to other urban parks all over the globe, such as Stanley Park in Vancouver and Tokyo’s Ueno Park.
