• Central Park written by Héloïse Roquebert

    Hi, my name is Héloïse and I'm going to talk about Central Park!

    Recently I went to New-York with my family, and one of the things that I saw and that I really liked was Central Park.

     

    Let’s start with a little history:

    On July 21, 1853, the New York State legislature set aside over 750 acres of land in central Manhattan Island to create America's first large public park, soon to be called Central Park. At the beginning of the 20th century, the park was in a pitiful state, the benches, the lights and the playgrounds were broken, the park was no longer the treasure of the city but rather the shame of the city. But after that, the companies and the Foundations invested in the restoration of the park and it was completely repaired.Central Park written by Héloïse Roquebert

     

     

     

    Now I’m going to talk about two places in Central Park that are very quiet and beautiful, that I really like:

    First of all there is the Sheep meadow:

    Sheep Meadow is the perfect place to rest. In summer, it is New Yorkers' favourite place to relax. From this lawn, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the skyscrapers surrounding the park. Go at Sheep Meadow at the end of August to see the open air cinema.

    Second: the great lawn:

    The Great Lawn is a lawn in the middle of the park where you will find baseball and basketball courts and other installations for many other sports. In summer, there is the free outdoor cinema.
