Manhattan
The most frequented urban park in the nation attracts more than 20 million visitors annually. Built between 1858 and 1873, it occupies 6 percent of Manhattan's land area, or 843 acres. At 2.5 miles long and a half mile wide, it is the largest work of art in New York City.

Manhattan
The Conservatory Garden was commissioned in 1934 by Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. Nowhere else in Manhattan is there such a varied and wide collection of blooming plants—thousands of flowering trees and shrubs, annuals and perennials—from the rarest of old roses to common wildflowers.
