Central Park in New York City appears unstructured but was carefully designed and constructed to seem natural. The park was created by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the mid-1800s to provide a respite from the city for all residents. Their vision of Central Park established the model for urban public parks across the United States that balance aesthetics, recreation, and environmental stewardship.
