Central Park in Autumn

Emma De Fry | November 9, 2015 | 8:40 am | Comment

Central Park in Autumn might just be it’s absolute peak. Though it is a haven for all New Yorkers and it’s millions of visitors throughout the year, it is during the ‘Fall’ that it really shows off.

Central Park in Autumn

On a bright, sunny, November day the colours of the leaves pop against the blue sky. The remote control sailboats are reflected in the shimmering water of the lake, surrounded by floating leaves of all hues.

Visitors wander the paths in sweaters and scarves, and aren’t afraid to run onto the lawns and roll in the leaves.

Grab a hot pretzel, or even a beer from the hot dog vendors and snack sheds and make a day of it. Hire a bike and cycle some of the 843 acres of green oasis in an otherwise concrete metropolis.

Marvel at the views that the apartments on Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side must have over the park.
