My favorite spot in Central Park! It’s just beautiful to walk along this way during any season (especially fall )

Beautiful park with lots of benches, places to picnic, walk, run and to do other fun activities. Has places to have a snack or to eat something. Lots of animals and very quiet and peaceful. In summer it's blooming in green colors while in autumn is all in brown, red shades.
The Central Park Mall is a pedestrian esplanade in Central Park, in Manhattan, New York City. The mall, leading to Bethesda Fountain, provides the only purely formal feature in the naturalistic original plan of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux for Central Park. The Mall was designed so that a carriage could disgorge its passengers at the south end, then drive round and pick them up again overlooking Bethesda Terrace, whose view of the Lake and Ramble formed the \ultimatum of interest\ in Olmsted and Vaux's vision. With no need for redoubling their steps, fashionable New Yorkers, who in the first decades of the park's existence drove through it in their carriages but rarely walked in it, had their chance to mingle with the less affluent, a mix that was considered thoroughly \American\ and picturesque enough to be illustrated repeatedly in the watercolors of Maurice Prendergast and Ludwig Bemelmans.
Another lovely part of the park. It is a wide, tree-lined walk with the statues of famous writers spaced along it. Writers include Shakespeare, Robert Burns and Walter Scott. A recent addition is a statue of three women's rights pioneers, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The trees are some of the few American Elms still standing. Dutch Elm disease has wiped out most.
The only straight path in The Central Park. Beautiful and cozy. Make people feel in peace.
