Central Park Central Park is a public park at the center of Manhattan in New York
City. The park initially opened in 1857, on 843 acres (341 ha) of city-owned land. In 1858, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they entitled the Greensward Plan. Construction began the same year, continued during the American Civil War, and was completed in 1873. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States.
Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, the park is currently managed by the Central Park Conservancy under contract with the city government. The Conservancy is a non-profit organization that contributes 83.5% of Central Park's 37.5 million annual budget, and employs 80.7% of the park's maintenance staff.
