  16. Central park The value of land in Manhattan has turned the island into a sea if cincrete. Fortunately fir Ne w York's residents, there is one major exception: Central park. This huge park in the middle of The city was designed in the 1850s by landscape ar-chitect Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted want ed park to be a rural paradise within an urban area, a place for all-"rich and poor, young and old. " Central Park is still much as he intended. You can take a horse and buggy ride through Central Park. You can explore the park even better by renting a bucycle. Attractions in the park include gardens, a zoo, a skating rink, an old-fashioned carousel, a lake where you can row, and an outdo or theater, where events are held each summer.    Central park was opened in 1876. Wealthy New Yorkers soon buo;t mansions along fifth Avenu e, on the park's east side. The Vander-bilts, a large family, at one point had eleven mansions on Fifth Avenye! The mansions that remain now hold art collections. For example, ther's the Frick C ollection in what was once the home of mil-lionaire Henry Clay Frick. The Frick is a de-lightful m useum to wander through since it's set up, not like a museum, but as it was when the Fricks live d there. This park of Fifth Avenue along Central Park has so many museums that it's called "Mus eum Mile." The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with huge collection s of art from around the world, may be the most important mu- seum in the United States. The street on the western side of the park, Central Park West, has large and unusual apartme nt buildings. Whe the first one was being built, people laughed. They said no-body with money wo uld live in an apartment house, especially when it was so far from the center of town that it mi ght as well be in the Dakotas(in the western part of the United States; see Unit 5). The builder h ad the last laugh; he named his buo;domg the Dakota, and when it opend, every apartment was o ccu-pied. The Dakpta has had many famous resi-dents, including actress Lauren Bacall and condu ctor/composer :eonard Bernstein. But, above all, the building makes people think of John Lennon, who lived there and was killed right outside on Decemver 8, 1980.

Several recent myrders involved innocent bystanders-people who jus t happened to be "in the way" when shots were fired. Drugs and the ease with which so phisticated guns can be obtained appear to be factors contributing to the increse in viol ent crime. The mayor's office has announced plans to hire ahd train more police officers. When questioned by reporters, may New Yorkers said they would move elsewhere of the y could. Other New Yorkers though, were steadfastly loyal to the city. They pionted out that the problems," one man said, "New York" has so mych to offer- concerts, plays, you name it. and besides, New York is my home." -Has crime increased in the cities of your country? What do you think should be done to fight crime? -Some New Yorker want to leave. What is your opinion? Would you want to live in New York? Why or  why not?
