When concerts are free and public, everyone gets a seat! 🎶

This summer, we celebrated the Afro-Latinas Festival at SummerStage NYC, and had the honor of speaking with legends Susana Baca and Luedji Luna, two extraordinary artists carrying their roots to Central Park.

It was a celebration of community, identity, and a reminder of why public stages matter. 🫶

“Looking out over Central Park there's just that little bit of simplicity, it almost looks like a country scene, and then to kind of look out and see all the buildings and the high rises. It's like the country and the city...and I get inspired." —Dolly Parton

Today, we remember beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, and former Central Park neighbor Dolly Parton.

We’re proud to be a little piece of country for everyone to enjoy in the middle of NYC. 💚 🦋

843 acres, 365 days a year. It's National Nonprofit Day and we’re celebrating the people behind the Central Park Conservancy who tend to every inch of New York City’s backyard!

For over 40 years, the City has entrusted us with Central Park’s complete day-to-day care. From every lawn to every tree to every bridge, fountain, sculpture, and everything in between, they’re the ones making this Park a true gem of NYC. From fundraising to planting native flowers to composting to caring for thousands of trees, these people keep Central Park green and growing.

Thank you to our incredible staff for everything you do. 💚

Today is National Relaxation Day, and there’s no better place to unwind than Central Park!

Finish that book you've been meaning to read on the Great Lawn. Stroll beneath the leafy canopy of the Mall. Wander among summer blooms in Conservatory Garden.

No matter how you choose to relax, Central Park offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of City life.

It’s an extra special day in Central Park! ☀️🌙

If you’re stopping by the Park for views of today’s partial solar eclipse, remember to stay aware of your surroundings, wear approved eclipse glasses, and never look directly at the Sun. 🕶️
