Visiting At Night

Bethesda Fountain

Central Park is definitely much safer now than it has been in the past. You probably won't have any problem going for a run through the park at night, but if you're more cautious, you may want to stay out of the park at night time.

The southern part of the park is definitely the safest (along 59th street) at night. It is often quite busy there in the evening hours.

Estimated Visiting Time

Row Boats on the Lake

The park is huge. It would take a long time to walk through it and see all the sites. If you're just here to visit, spend some time looking around, and try to take a guided tour. They often provide an efficient and informative way to see some small piece of The Park.
