In 1857, the idea of one of the urban wonders of the world was brought to life. Architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux would build the 843-acre park in Manhattan, New York City. Originally known as ?The Greensward Plan?, Central park would soon become known as one of New York City?s most famous pieces of architectural work and history. Annually, about 37.5 million people visit Central Park. It is an incredibly large park, spanning 2.5 miles from 59th Street to 110th Street, and 0.5 miles from 5th Avenue to 8th Avenue. The Central Park Conservatory operates the park, and it is open all year to the public. Since 1962, Central Park has been considered a national historic landmark.
