Central Park is 2.5 miles long and half a mile wide, and contains 843 acres of woodlands, landscaped gardens, grassy lawns, and recreational centers. The park was originally built in the mid-18th century as a place where wealthy New Yorkers could go for carriage rides in the country without actually having to leave the city. But it is now quite common to explore Central Park on foot via a walking tour.
