Is there a skate park in Central Park?
Yes and no. There is an area that is commonly used as a skate park, but it was never built or officially designated as such (to my knowledge, at least). It's called the Literary Walk. It's the place where the Bandshell is (the stage with the curved stone back that amplifies sound)? It's across from the fountain that overlooks the Central Park Lake. It's at approximately West 72nd Street (or, what would be West 72nd Street, if the streets went through the park). To get there, you just follow the Park Drive (the Park Drive is the big concrete road that loops around the park; it is the only road that cars are allowed on in the park). There are two parts to the Park Drive: the full length, and the shortcut. It basically looks like a circle with two lines drawn through it near the top and near the bottom. The circle loops all the way around the park, from the south end (59th Street) to the north end (110th Street). The shortcut cuts across at 72nd Street and 100th Street. Follow the Park Drive to around 72nd Street. At that point, the road splits: one part continues looping all the way down to the south end of the park (59th Street). The other part cuts through at 72nd Street. Follow the shortcut that cuts through 72nd Street. On one side of the Park Drive is the lake. On the other side is the Literary Walk and Bandshell. That whole area is where all the skaters hang out (especially on Saturday and Sunday). There's another spot, right next to the Literary Walk, where this big open concrete space is. This is where the skaters usually go to practice tricks and fancy skating. See the Related Link below for a map of Central Park. The location of the Bandshell is clearly marked. That's where you are headed.
What direction do you walk from 34th Street Penn Station to Central Park?
Take the Uptown C train (on the A-C-E, the blue line) from Penn Station (34th Street) to either 59th Street-Columbus Circle, 72nd Street, 81st Street, 86th Street, 96th Street or 103rd Street.Central Park runs south to north from 59th Street to 110th Street, and west to east from Central Park West to Fifth Avenue. The C train runs up and down Central Park West, so any of these stops -- 59th, 72nd, 81st, 86th, 96th, 103rd -- will drop you off right across the street from the park.The A train also runs up and down Central Park West, but it is an express train. It stops at 59th Street and then 125th Street. Remember, the north end of the park is at 110th Street. So if you take the A train, you must get off at the south end of the park (or, transfer at 59th Street for the Uptown C or B trains).The B and D trains also run up and down Central Park West, but they do not stop at Penn Station. But if you take the A train and then want to transfer at 59th, you can transfer to the B. Don't transfer to the D, because, like the A, the D is an express train and 125th Street is the next stop after 59th.See the Related Link below for a complete New York City subway map.
How long will it take to get from Penn Station to 72nd St and Central Park West by subway?

What train goes directly from the Howard Beach Station to Central Park West?
The A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line). The A train runs between the Howard Beach Station and the 59th Street-Columbus Circle Station, which is at the southwest corner of the park (8th Avenue and 59th Street, aka Central Park West and Central Park South. The portion of 8th Avenue that borders the park is called Central Park West, and the portion of 59th Street that borders the park is called Central Park South. Also, the portion of 110th Street that borders the park is called Central Park North. However, the portion of Fifth Avenue that borders the park is NOT called Central Park East, for some reason).Also, you can transfer at 59th Street-Columbus Circle to the Uptown C (of the A-C-E) or the Uptown B (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line). Both of these trains stop at several points along Central Park West: 59th and CPW (Columbus Circle), 72nd and CPW, 81st and CPW, 86th and CPW, 96th and CPW and 110th and CPW.The A is an express train, so the next stop after 59th Street-Columbus Circle is 125th Street. Remember, 110th Street is the north border of the park. So if you want to get off at 72nd, 81st, 86th, 96th, 103rd or 110th, you must transfer at 59th to the Uptown C or B trains.
