"We enjoy this park and all its events, from food truck day, and car shows, to Sparkle in the Park during the holidays. Take a horse carriage ride around the park to enjoy the spectacle of the beautiful holiday lights. An unexpected treasure in the Heartland."

"As a kid, I would swim with my cousins in the pool that's at Central Park. And now I'm having my 55th class reunion, the "Class of 69 Icebreaker" get-together. Lots of food trucks and live music in the gazebo it was a wonderful night for all. Plus, of course, the park was open to the public, but we had our section in the southeast corner of Central Park, where it was just our group. I love what the city has done with Central Park."
