What makes it great?:
It's an attractive and varied place (or places?) for the residents of New York so there is a sense of ownership and identity. The pedestrian paths permit permeability allowing the visitor to move easily through the park and past various destinations. It provides a wide range of 'spaces' for people ranging from wooded areas, meadows, art galleries, performance areas, and active recreation zones. Central Park is well managed with a large volunteer program and plays host to lots of events/activities throughout the year.
What would make it better?:
Can't think of anything!
