The walkways meander, so your walking distance from south to north will actually be further. North part of the park is much less developed and less used.
2.5 miles equal to 4 km. Central Park is 843 acres (1.317 sq mi; 3.41 km2). It is 2.5 miles (4 km) long between 59th Street (Central Park South) and 110th Street (Central Park North), and is 0.5 miles (0.8 km) wide between Fifth Avenue and Central Park West.
