Upper West Side Central Park-Great Lawn in Sunny Spring April

We live in Upper West side Manhattan, we are steps away from the Central Park, Lincoln Center, Time Warner Center, Columbus Circle and all the arts and culture of Manhattan New York.

This weekend we had a hot Summery weather, the temperature went up to 90 degrees, everyone was out in the park and we took few hours of our day and decided to join the crowde.

We went to Central Park and had a great time on the Great Lawn. The Great Lawn has, over the years, hosted some of the most popular musical events in the city’s history. It is our urban sanctuary. Here are some amazing photos to share!

The Great lawn - This lush green 55-acre area at the geographical center of Central Park was originally the site of the Croton Reservoir. When the City's plans for a new water system rendered this reservoir obsolete, it was drained in 1931, filled in, and opened as a luxurious green 13-acre oval in 1937. In the 1950s, eight ballfields were added. In time the Great Lawn became the venue for some of the City's biggest outdoor events, including concerts by Elton John, Diana Ross, Simon and Garfunkel, and Luciano Pavarotti, Disney's June 1995 preview of the movie Pocahontas, and a papal mass with Pope John Paul II in October 1995.

Eileen, this brings back so many fond memories. Central Park in the Spring is gorgeous. I worked in the Upper West Side many years. is Ray's Papaya King still there? They always had a line out the door.

Eileen - What a great place to be - must be wonderful living in NYC... I am jealous...

Maggie - There is Greys papayas on @72nd and Broadway... They have a recession special right now, so fun in the Summer time!

Kathy - Central Park is for sure lovely in the Summer/Spring time!

The group out on the Great Lawn of Central Park Eileen looks like they are having a wonderful time there in the Urban Jungle. Good thing the planners of Manhattan left that beautiful little oasis for the residents.

Love photos of Central Park -- there is no place like New York City.

I'm happy you had some time to enjoy such a beautiful day at the park! We're still waiting for spring weather around here (Seattle). And it looks like you are on to summertime.

Eileen, love the pictures, they depict the true essence of NYC. It looks like you had a great day!
