The Park's six-mile perimeter extends from Central Park West to Fifth Avenue and 59th Street to 110th Street.
Central Park is completely man-made. It took 15 years and over $14 million (roughly $200 million today) to build the Park in accordance with Olmsted and Vaux's Greensward Plan.
To construct the Park, workers moved nearly five million cubic yards of stone, earth, and topsoil. They built 30 bridges and arches, and 11 overpasses over sunken transverse roads.
