This is going to seem pedantic but like just sharing my perspective. Central Park sooo doesn't feel like a forest to me. It's like walking around a crowded lawn (ok maybe thats a bit dramatic). But Central park really doesn't do it for me; when I'm in NYC I need to spend time in Prospect Park (which is closerrr to a forest) or else I go crazy
- rrdharan 7y agoAre you sure you’ve explored the whole thing? The crowded lawn is certainly one part of it but there are whole swaths up near 110th that are much quieter as well as large dense tree sections e.g. near the zoo.
- dahfizz 7y agoHaving a couple trees does not make it a forest. have you ever walked out in real nature?
- graeme 7y agoThis is in central park: https://www.travelblog.org/Photos/514446 https://www.travelblog.org/Photos/514446 Most is not like that mind you. But not bad for a city forest
- dTal 7y agoNot the original complainer, but that looks quite sterile to me. Apart from the trees there's very little vegetation, beyong the odd fern - no moss, no rotting logs, no undergrowth or leaf-mold floor. It doesn't look moist enough. Just dry, dusty dirt.
- graeme 7y agoThose are paths people walked on. Since there’s a lot of foot traffic they’re wider than regular forests. But yeah, it’a city forest. Not the same as wild, but more forest-ty than the discussion implied I think. Most visitors only see the south park of central park.
