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.
