N Y City of Department of Parks & Recreation

You have to go to this park if you go to New York City. It's really amazing. I was afraid I might be disappointed because I had heard so much about it, but I wasn't. It was everything that it should be and more. It's a great place to take a walk, have lunch and just experience the atmosphere. You'll see plenty of tourist and New Yorkers here. It's a good place to people watch.

Central Park is the host of Summer Stage. Every summer, there are FREE concerts by various artists at the outdoor stage. It's just one of the many free events in the summer. The stage is great, the sound is clear and did I mention it's FREE! Just get there ahead of time to assure a space near the stage.
