Imagine Mosaic, Strawberry Fields

Highlight • Monument

At the 72nd Street, on the western side of Central Park, you will find the Strawberry Fields, where the John Lennon followers of the Imagine mosaic meet to sing. The monument is located near the Dakota Building, before John Lennon fell victim to an assassination attempt on December 8, 1980. Incidentally, his wife still lives in the Dakota Building and regularly comes to the memorial to lay flowers there.

Central Park Outer Loop

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful loop tour, to be done all the way to the northern end. The park changes a lot with to the south the most populated parts, full of people and full of services. In the center you find some of the most beautiful gardens. To the north you find much quieter and wilder corners. Don't miss the waterfalls that are hidden in the northernmost area.
