"CENTRAL PARK — THE BIG BACK YARD OF THE CITY"
Fast-growing, business-oriented New York City had largely ignored quality of life issues for its citizens. By the middle of the 19th century, this omission had become so apparent that the city government arranged a competition for the design and creation of a great park. The winning design of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux transformed 843 acres into an educational, recreational, and horticultural marvel.
