Best Answer

Central Park runs south to north from 59th Street to 110th Street, and west to east from 8th Avenue to 5th Avenue (note that the portion of 8th Avenue that borders the park is called Central Park West. Also, the portion of 59th Street that borders the park is called Central Park South, and the portion of 110th Street that borders the park is called Central Park North. However, the portion of 5th Avenue that borders the park is NOT called Central Park East, for some reason).

So, Central Park covers 51 street blocks and 3 avenue blocks, which would be a total of 153 square blocks.

Central Park is 153 square blocks. It runs south to north from 59th Street to 110th Street, and west to east from 8th Avenue to 5th Avenue. That's 3 avenue blocks multiplied by 51 street blocks: 3 x 51 = 153.

You mean, Central Park? Central Park is completely surrounded by city streets. The west and east side of the park are lined by Central Park West and Fifth Avenue, respectively. Both of these avenues are entirely composed of residential buildings (except for the Natural History Museum on Central Park West). Fifth Avenue is the ritziest, richest avenue in the whole city, and Central Park West is a close second. The south side of Central Park faces 59th Street. On 59th Street, most of the buildings are residential, but there are many, many, many doctors offices as well. The north side of Central Park faces 110th Street, which is an entirely residential street in the neighborhood known as Harlem.
