Central Park has 843 acres set aside for recreational use. With that said if you visit this park, You might want to get lost in the Ramble. This is a section of the park where you feel that is organic in a sense and not man made, but it was and it was meant to give you that perception. Even birds find that section of the park really appealing, because of its natural look.
