Central Park is approximately two-and-a-half miles long and a half-mile wide, totaling 843 acres. If you’re like me, and understand size more easily through visual comparison, then those numbers may not mean much. So in order to better understand the park’s true size, I used mapping software to create an outline of Central Park that I could move around the globe. To those more familiar with the park’s massive size, these maps may provide a yardstick by which they can grasp the scale of other places. To those less familiar, these comparisons may put into perspective how truly huge the park is.
