Central park
the English architect Calvert Vaux in 1858 after winning a design
competition.
The park might appear natural , but in fact it is almost entirely
landscaped. Every tree, plant, lake and pond has been planted and made by
human hands. Central Park, home to over 25,000 trees, has a stand of
1,700 American Elms, one of the largest remaining stands of in the north-
eastern U.S.
You can also observe many mammals and birds. Raccoons and opposums
who come down from the trees to feed at night, have become extremely
common in Central Park in recent years. They even made warnings around
certain areas bacause some raccoons can even hurt people. Although not
commonly sighted, there are chipmunks and opposums in Central Park. Also
there are many water birds for example ducks , and also hawks and other
birds.
