Overview
In this central park tour, your host, Garrett, will carve a path through the parks history and legacy, passing and observing the most beloved features of the park along the way.
You will gain insight into how the park was created, who created it, why they created it, and who they thought we would be in relationship to it.
We will come to realize that the park is "living history" and that our respect for it is as important as is the rain for the well being of its 25,000 trees.
in addition to all the learning will be remarkable photographic opportunities, fun and sincere conversation, and a perspective you cannot get from a guide book.
Description
Pass By: The Plaza, 768 5th Ave, New York, NY 10019, USA

Stop At: Central Park's Literary Walk, 66th St To 72nd St, Central Park, New York City, New York 10022
The only straight line designed within the entire 843 acre park, the poets walk was intended to foster among the public an enthusiasm for scholastic and literary enterprise. As we walk through, we will come to recognize it immediately from so many movies and tv shows. In any weather or time of the year, it is by design meant to be the most populated section of the park, and where we are likely to see the most musicians, art vendors, sketch-artists, magicians, bubble-blowers, and countless other activities
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Bethesda Fountain, Midpark at 72nd St. Transverse, Central Park, New York City, New York
Considered the grand centerpiece of the park, despite it not being even close to the parks center, many guests prefer to spend time here, capturing photos and congratulating the newly weds who almost guaranteed to be taking their wedding photos, or stopping to hear the church choir or opera singers who fill the space with much needed serenity.
Additionally I will provide bathroom opportunities and commentary on the history of the fountain and the space surrounding it.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Bow Bridge, 74th Street, West of Bethesda Terrace, Connecting Cherry Hill and The Ramble, New York City, New York

Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Cherry Hill, Central Park West, New York, NY 10024, USA
This rest stop for horse carriages is often mistaken for being the fountain from the famed sitcom "friends," though is no less remarkable in its presence, especially in early spring during cherry blossom season.

The ending site of the tour, guests may choose to linger and listen to one of the many Beatles cover-musicians to frequent the space. -Yes, they will be there even in the rain.
Guests, before the tour's end, will come to understand not only what the universal message of the space, (where a portion of John Lennon's ashes were scattered) but what Yoko Ono's intentions were during its creation, as well as the United nations involvement in consummating its status as a monument to world peace.
