Hmmmm, I have been to Central Park once in my life back in 2019. But after seeing this video, it is obvious I got to see less than one percent of it. If I ever make it back to NYC, the Park is the one place I would like to spend a lot of time exploring. Thank you for the video.

Love your NYC videos. Just a thought about the Bethesda Fountain: Bethesda means "House of Mercy," and is mentioned in the Bible in the book of John where John writes of "The Pool of Bethesda" where many infirm waited until the waters were stirred at which time they could make their way to the Pool to be healed. Bethesda Fountain commemorated the opening of the Croton Aqueduct which brought fresh water to the people of New York. The fresh water brought "healing" to the citizens of New York because the clean water replaced the contaminated water that had been diseasing the people. Central Park benefited public health in many ways, providing fresh air, exercise and relaxation.

Haha yes we’ve got no squirrels here in Australia! And no red-eared slider turtles either 😤 that’s why my number 1 destination when I come visit New York is always the turtle pond 🐢😍 love your channel!!! And great video…much better than mine Central Park video that I’ve got on my channel…one of my early videos and it’s embarrassing compared to yours. Plus you know so many facts! Love you!!!!

"Criminal Illegal Aliens". Not 'migrants' Victims of police brutality are getting compensated in millions. So why not apply the same approach to crimes committed by illegals? Let's keep the DIMS busy this year. Victims of crimes committed by Illegal criminal Aliens living in the U.S. should file a $50 billion class-action lawsuit against agencies at all government levels for failure to enforce existing laws. Proactively seek legal advice and engage in wholesale activism on the political front.

A glorious place! This was an excellent tour, Sarah. I learned so many tidbits.

I always remembered that quote! 😍 Love from Toronto. xo

You're the best Sarah! Love this video! I am planning on visiting the city next spring. My son has only seen the southern end of the park. Around the pond area and up to the big rock. I told him there is a zoo there, we were short on time on that visit, so we're planning to hit the zoo! I also want him to see Strawberry Fields. I had no idea of the Mall area until this video! I was in Central Park as a kid way back in the 70's but have little memory of some of the park. Thank you for making content like this! See, there is a reason I call you my very favorite tour guide of NYC!!!

Nice! I just really enjoy your videos and your style of presentation and you hooked me as a subscriber long ago. I'm a Minnesotan who's been to New York once and this video reminded me of the time we were there and we experienced a sunny winter day walking through Central Park the day after it had snowed. It was gorgeous! P.S. Your story about you and your friends sinking the boat was hilarious!

Hi Sarah, great video but you left out an important history fact. Before Central Park's creation, there existed Seneca Village, a vibrant community of free Black property owners in pre-Civil War New York. The community began in 1825, when landowners in the area.

Love the shoutout to Aussies about the squirrels, and yes, we are a little obsessed! We did, for a while, have an introduced species here in Western Australia (they escaped from the zoo) but they've been eradicated. So whenever we see squirrels in the US (or really anywhere that has them) the immediate reaction is 'SQUIRREL' and complete adoration ;-)

@user-pf2xc9xc4u
@user-pf2xc9xc4u 7 месяцев назад
Lots of great historical information, but here are a few notes: It's called "The Ramble", not "The Rambles", the Alice in Wonderland statue is way more impressive than Balto, and anyone who has a map (or is a tour guide) should have known that The Dairy houses an information center and gift shop. Why were you surprised by that? Incidentally, your camera person's comments are intrusive and not needed. I also agree with a previous comment stating that the Seneca Village should have been mentioned. It's a forgotten part of Central Park's history that needs more attention.
