Center Dr, Central Park

Center Drive is what 6th Avenue turns into once you enter Central Park. You can't live here (or anywhere in the park for that matter), but it's an easy drive street if you need to get through the park by car for some reason. Center Drive takes you through the Bolivar Plaza entrance to the park. There are a lot of statues Latin American liberators right around here. I don't know who any of these people are, but the statues are pretty. There's also a little treehouse looking thing on the east side of center drive. There really all kinds of surprises in this park, so driving through it isn't the best way to see it. But, if, for example, you have to get to the north side of the park, this is probably the best way to go to get into the meat of the park. However, on a nice day, traffic can be a nightmare on this street. There are so many pedestrians and bikers, etc and there are only two lanes so there's no way around all the people. And, cabs whizz down this street so if you are a biker or walker, be careful.

There are streets through the park so that traffic doesn’t have to go all the way around Central Park in order to transverse surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods. So if you’re looking for a jogging path, there are defiantly better ones than Center Dr. However, the street is only open to traffic from 7am-7pm on weekdays– so if you’re planning on jogging when the park opens (6 am), or from 7pm -1 am (when it closes), then you’re good.

I have been living in this street for around 2 years.I would say that this street is very calm and peaceful all the time.The only disadvantage is that public transit station is a bit away from this location.Most of the dwellings are houses rather the usual apartments.It is a very nice street to be at.

This is really a very calm street. The neighbors are so sweet. A purely residential area without any kind of disturbances.There are a lot of trees in this street giving it a greeny cool look, especially in the summer. Fall colors are pretty good here.There is no kind of parking problems here as most of the dwellings are houses rather than apratments.

New York City has many things to offer in the way of huge buildings and concrete, but some of it's greatest views can be seen in the park, by foot. Center Drive looks through the park and allows the perfect path for runners and bikers to follow. It's a beautiful area to travel through, but solace is not what you will find. Any time you enter the area there will be people, and a lot of them. I've been on Center Drive during all different hours of the day and during all different types of weather and there are always other people. It's still a great place to be and moves along at a nice pace for even the slowest walkers. It is worth a visit.

Center Drive is a mainly residential street in Queens with beautiful houses. I think that this a wonderful residential block and that the neighborhood is convenient. There are parks throughout the neighborhood, a nice retreat from the concrete jungle known as Manhattan. All in all, a beautiful street in a quaint neighborhood.

Located on the Southern side of Central Park and running between east and west, Center Drive continues along the path started by West Drive to provide space for runners and bikers. Along Center Drive, however, there are several unique attractions. The Wollman Ice Skating Rink owned by Donald Trump of the Apprentice (and a much despised figure in New York) can be easily accessed nearby. 59th Street, which runs close to Center Drive, also has a host of hotels and fancy restaurants, so tourists who come into the city may consider going to Center Drive for a run if they prefer to do so outdoors and not inside their hotel gym.
