No. Central Park wouldn't rank among the 10 biggest U.S. parks, or the 100 biggest parks. It probably wouldn't even make the 1000 biggest U.S. parks list. Central Park is 1 1/4 square miles (3 1/4 square kilometers) in area.

It seems that a lot of people are under the impression that Central Park is one of the biggest parks in the U.S., and I really cannot understand why. How could it possibly be that big? It's located on Manhattan Island, which is a tiny island: only 33.77 square miles (87.5 square kilometers).

No, Central Park is nowhere near being the biggest city park in the world. I'm really not sure how this rumor got started, because it makes no sense. Central Park is located on Manhattan Island, which is a very tiny island: only 33.77 square miles (87.5 square kilometers). So how big could it possibly be?

Central Park is 843 acres or 1.25 square miles (3.25 square kilometers). The largest city park in the world is South Mountain Park in Phoenix, Arizona. It has an area of 16,283 acres, or 25.5 square miles (66 square kilometers).

No, Central Park is the largest park in New York City. But Adirondack Park (upstate New York) is the largest park in the US.

No, not even close. Central Park is half a mile wide and two and a half miles long.

It's in the center of Manhattan. The center of all of New York City would be somewhere in southwest Queens.
