An 843-acre (340-ha) green space in the heart of Manhattan's jungle of concrete and skyscrapers, Central Park is a peaceful oasis filled with forests, lakes, and trails. Explore the country's most visited city park on 2 wheels with hourly bike rental.

Hop aboard a bicycle at a rental shop just 3 blocks from the entrance to Central Park. With individual bikes, tandem bikes, and baby seats, there's a comfortable bike for everyone, from casual riders to those with more experience behind the handlebars. Cruise through the park at your leisure, following a helpful, color-coded map with route suggestions from the staff or creating your own circuit around Central Park's 47 miles (75 km) of paths.

As you ride, admire the architecture of the city that surrounds you, and check out the various sculptures that dot the park's landscape, from the Imagine mosaic dedicated to John Lennon to the Cleopatra's Needle obelisk, carved in Egypt in the 15th century and erected in Central Park in 1881. Circle the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, see laughing kids riding on the historic Central Park Carousel, and pass by the famous restaurant Tavern on the Green. It's the perfect, active respite from the busy urban bustle of the Big Apple.
