    Hiking

    Central Park's Naumburg Bandshell, an original feature of the Park, has come a long way from its beginnings as a mere classical music arena.

    The site of both a speech delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. and a eulogy read for John Lennon, it has become a place of historical importance within the Park.

    The original Mould Bandstand was constructed in 1862 as a pagoda that became one of the park’s most familiar landmarks. Back then, the free Saturday afternoon concerts would draw upward of 45,000 people to the Mall on a nice summer day.
    If you are looking for relaxation and a little peace, you are not wrong here!
