Marc Klahr | May 29, 2022

I reccomend renting bikes in the park for maximum exposure

Nate Stalzer | May 29, 2022

I hiked the whole park yesterday. If you're a hiker, the terrain is easy but you will cover a bit of distance.

Laila k | May 29, 2022

Hi well you can but depending on your fitness And if you take the horse ride , its toooo big but the weather is worth it

Raffaele Lostumbo | May 29, 2022

No

Mike Blanchard | May 29, 2022

If you can walk 800 acre park plus getting turned around.

Sabita Sharma | May 29, 2022

Yes you can. But you will have to walk a lot. Like someone said I would recommend bikes.

oak | May 29, 2022

Yes but if you stop probably not

Rebeca Gomez | May 29, 2022

No ,I lived in New York city, and I have walked from 59 to 110 street East side, still had more to cover.. so no you can't not cover the park in one day you got East and west side, and the center ,south and north ,🥴🙄🙄

Richard Donati | May 29, 2022

It depends you could probably do it without stopping. I would plan two days so you could stop along the way

Val Z. | Aug 27, 2022

I would say no, it’s very hilly and you can get easily tired by foot. Plus there are many many trails that intertwine. You can definitely see the most well known parts and landmarks in a day.

Bernadette Curtis | May 29, 2022

No, but you can see a lot of it and there is so much to enjoy.

Shauna Kreider | May 29, 2022

Sure, if your a good walker!

Luis Ortiz | May 29, 2022

I would suggest a bike instead but it can be done!

Shawn Miller | May 29, 2022

A lot of walking but, yes

Roberta | May 29, 2022

It would be a challenge. I agree that renting bicycles is a good idea. I would map out a plan first. You can Google a map of the park and go from there.

Edwin Senbergs | May 29, 2022

Most people miss the upper end of the park near Harlem that has so much to see and experience

Nae Fletcher | May 29, 2022

Yes you could but it'll require a lot of walking. Make sure to bring a lot of water to stay hydrated.

Peter Falco | May 29, 2022

Too much ground/ area to cover. Could you see a good portion and experience MOST of what the park has to offer in a day, yes if you're on decent shape and/or have a bike.

ELREALGPONCE_ENT. “REALG_JP” | May 29, 2022

I saying if you take the 24 hours of one day maybe

Richard D | May 29, 2022

If you hire a bike, sure, but on foot you'd need 2 days to see everything properly. It's worth it though

Maria Vale | May 29, 2022

Rent a bike. Though it's more joyful to walk. So much to see. If you truly want to savor the park, walk. And if so, no, not in one day. But you can pick the top spots you may want to see instead, spots such as the Angel Fountain, the Boathouse, the carousel, the Castle, the Zoo, the Alice in Wonderland statue, the, the reservoir.... And so on. Whichever you pick, you'll have unforgettable moments.

Roberto Sambolin III | May 29, 2022

No if you really want to enjoy every part of it.

Zach | May 29, 2022

Could you cover all the grounds... Technically yes. But would you miss a lot of the things that make Central Park worth visiting absolutely yes. This isn't really a rush through it type of place to visit. Take your time enjoy the sights, but if you don't have time pick a few things.

Henry Godwin | May 29, 2022

No to much ground to cover

Carla Clark | May 29, 2022

You can walk it. Luckily, i try to one section a visit. It's cooler in the park so you won't get as overheated and fatigued. Bring water. But there are stands selling water all over the park.

Tom Marx | May 29, 2022

If you just walk, for example on the roadway which goes around the park about 7 miles, yes you can. But if you want to really see the hidden delights, absolutely not. For example thr rambles, or sailboat lake, Belvedire castle and many more with names or not.

Steve Wonder | May 29, 2022

Depends on how fit the two people are.

Darius Zeb | May 29, 2022

No Way Jose. Also, it depends what is your interest for example Boat house fine restaurant and martinis it takes time and reservations. Also Mets is amazing place amazing museum and greate cozy food and drink place. But, if you like walking or biking you might be able to see quite a bit.

Edward Gibbs | May 29, 2022

YES-YES--YES!!!

helen hernandez | May 29, 2022

Yes, yiu may cover all grounds just like someone mention with a bike will be a great idea.

Charlotte Tyson | May 29, 2022

I don't know since I was told it covers more than 20 blocks

Victor San Andrés | May 29, 2022

Definitely not.

ᴎiiƚꙅuɒ | May 29, 2022

If you are walking the whole park i don't think you can cover the entire park in one day, but if you are biking that is possible

Hitesh Zaveri | May 29, 2022

No. You can't cover walking. It'll take 2 to 3 days. In single day if you want to see, take human cart.

jason duane | May 29, 2022

Somebody said you could do it in 4 hours

Jeff Fogel | May 29, 2022

Rent bikes

Roma Meshorer | May 29, 2022

You will need to go 10-15 km

Mission Rahaman | May 29, 2022

I recommend doing so with an electric scooter. I did that with my friend and we went around the whole park. My favorite scooter route

Patricia Hom | May 29, 2022

Maybe rent a bike or walking early in the morning before it gets crowded.

Zev Laine | May 29, 2022

You can to say you did.... better to split it up, and see it to see it.

Sydney Klein | May 29, 2022

No If you really want to enjoy all the park has to offer.

Craig McGregor | May 29, 2022

It's 843 acres. If you follow the path you can cover the main areas in a day. Get a bike or horse and cart half way through to break it up

yola ramz | May 29, 2022

I really don't think so

C Vynatheya | May 29, 2022

I would recommend an electric bike (or a regular one if you prefer) The guided tour on a horse driven carriage or an electric bike driven carriage is a great option too

Eury Payano | May 29, 2022

Yes you can however. It is possible to get lost.

W.20Th! | May 29, 2022

Rent a scooter or bike and do ya thang.. Enjoy the Big 🍎

Shaanika Thomas | May 29, 2022

The park is very big. I advice you to rent a bike or scooter or you can take a pedicab tour..probably Deluxe tour for 02H30 inorder to cover the whole park

Sriparna Das | May 29, 2022

Its really difficult to cover in one day. If you rent a city bike then you may cover only bit portion in respect to the whole area. Mainly people goes to visit the bridge and fountain and the main lake. Don't wonder as there have many fountains.

Ramiro Martinez | May 29, 2022

Dont no it's like a 800hundred acres.

Misha Bluvshteyn | May 29, 2022

Yes and no. If you wanna just say that you did it then yes but if you want to experience the park and enjoy it then no.

DJ Marly Mar | May 29, 2022

Not sure ...it's possible ...I believe

Thomas Milom | May 29, 2022

Totally. But really you'll be rushing through. Take your time and enjoy the place is fantastic

NYC streets The Five Boroughs | May 29, 2022

Yes you can I have done it many times

Hermin H | May 29, 2022

Yes you can as long as your in no rush it's fine a bike you will miss the little thing inside of central park.

John Carter | May 29, 2022

I would like to try too do it along the horse; trails.... Horses included of course!

Sean Naamani | May 29, 2022

If you're in good shape yes. If you're in bad shape yes but you're going to be hurting afterwards. Either way if you plan on doing it bring a little something to eat with you and don't don't forget to hydrate.

nyree bass | May 29, 2022

I would ride a bike, you can easily get lost walking..

Deen revival | May 29, 2022

Well it's really hard. But even if you do cover it in one day it won't be worth it. This park requires time. The more time you give to this place the better

Maryam | May 29, 2022

Yes rent take horse ride

Jonesy | May 29, 2022

Yes but it's a lot of walking. Not impossible but there is a lot of acreage.

Lisa Falco | May 29, 2022

Its possible but i would take two days and enjoy all you can at your own pace

Berglas71 | May 29, 2022

Yes, but I would use a map, some of the locations are difficult to find.

Leonardo Torres | May 29, 2022

Best to get a bike if one wishes to cover the park in one day. It will take more than a day if done on foot.

Cactus Jack | May 29, 2022

Yea definitely can

Daniel Hiraldo | May 29, 2022

Yes.

Gregory Severinski | May 29, 2022

Yes me and a friend did a quick walk through and even stopped and ate a bagel in half a day. Although very tired afterwords.

Paul Melcher | May 29, 2022

Yes. Comfortably maybe not

Robert Werner | May 29, 2022

Yes, you'll definitely be tired afterwards. Most people walk around the southern end and middle but the north end is also beautiful.

Elizabeth Lennon | May 29, 2022

I think it's possible if you don't stop at every attraction!

Nigel O'Shea | May 29, 2022

Yes you can
