Central Park was born from a bold vision—a democratic space of beauty, nature, and respite in the heart of New York City.

And the Central Park Conservancy was created to restore that vision, rescuing the Park from its long decline and turning it into one of the most iconic greenspaces in the world. For the last 45 years, the Conservancy has cared for all 843 acres—ensuring this place remains open, vibrant, and welcoming to all.
