Central Park: More Events, More Reason to Come

September 5, 2008

Central Park is a slice of heaven in New York City’s busy Manhattan. Its 843 acres of land is 150 years in the making. It’s everyone’s escape from the high-rise, traffic, and noise of the city.

With summer here, Central Park is in full-swing with its events. Through August 10 kids can enjoy “Sandbox Stories and Music” featuring professional storytellers and musicians. Kids can listen to interactive stories and learn basic music skills. There’s also the Multicultural Storytelling Series, Saturdays & Sundays ‘til the end of September.

For adults there are many events that are lined-up. Harleem Meer Performance Festival is on going Sundays from May to September. It is the 14th season of this popular Sunday concert series. This music festival features Latin, Jazz, World, and Gospel Artist. For Shakespeare lovers, there is the Shakespeare in the Park: A Midsummer Night’s Dream going on from August to September and is FREE of charge. This is a popular event so expect lines (tickets are available on the day of the event).

There are many sections of the park that will be open this summer. Kids can rent basketball, soccer, frisbees, and other sports equipment to use in the field. Indoor climbing is available to adults (age 18 and up) at the North Meadow Recreation Center.

There are many more reasons to visit Central Park. These events should entice people to visit, participate, and enjoy the park even more.
