Well, that depends on where you're coming from, and the method of transportation you want to use.
Central Park runs south to north from 59th Street to 110th Street, and west to east from Central Park West (8th Avenue) to 5th Avenue.
Both the C train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) and the B train (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line) make local stops up and down Central Park West, which forms the western border of the park. You can get off at 59th Street-Columbus Circle, 72nd Street, 81st Street, 86th Street, 96th Street and 103rd Street.
The A and D trains also run up and down Central Park West, but they are express trains, and run directly from 59th Street-Columbus Circle to 125th Street. Remember, Central Park runs south to north from 59th Street to 110th Street. So if you take the A or D trains, you must get off at 59th Street (or, take the A or D to 59th and then transfer to the C or B).
There is no subway line running up and down Fifth Avenue, which is the eastern border of the park. The only subway line currently running up and down the Upper East Side is the 4-5-6, at Lexington Avenue, three avenue blocks east of Fifth. So it's not like the West Side, where the subway makes local stops all the way up and down the length of the park.
Three avenue blocks is not a long walk, though, so you can take the 4 or 5 express trains to 59th or 86th and Lexington, or you can take the 6 local train to 59th Street, 68th Street-Hunter College, 77th Street, 86th Street, 96th Street or 103rd Street and Lexington.
Or, you can take the N, R or Q trains (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line) to 59th Street and 5th Avenue, which is the southeast corner of the park. Or, you can take the Q train (only the Q train) to 57th Street and 7th Avenue. Then it's just two blocks straight north to Central Park South, at 59th Street.
You can also take the F train (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line) to 57th Street and 6th Avenue (one avenue block east of the 57th Street stop on the Q train) and then again, it's two blocks straight north to Central Park South.
OR, you can take the 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line) to 110th Street (Central Park North) and enter on the north end of the park.
As for buses, you can take the m10 up Central Park West. On the East Side, you can take the m1, m2 or m4 up Madison Avenue (one block east of Fifth) or down Fifth Avenue. You can also take the m2 or m4 to Central Park North. Or, you can take the m5 or m7 to Central Park South.
