There was no room to exercise. Just dangerous. The noise from cars alone was stressful.
Now, New Yorkers would NEVER allow this to be reversed.
But back then, many people actually opposed banning cars from Central Park 🤦
It took decades of activism to kick these cars out of the park.
What does it look like now?
They disallowed cars in the park loop and the whole road is still there but it is for biking and running now

So, where was the road in the vid? Bottom left?
It’s somewhere in the top right of the pic, around the western edge of the lake (hidden by trees, the body of water visible in the pic is the reservoir): https://maps.app.goo.gl/pEYWTiKPz7XgUJ9Q6?g_st=ac
I dunno, I didn’t watch the video lol.
The park is huge by the way. It might not come across as well in an aerial photo, but it’s pretty massive, especially for something in the middle of a city as large as NYC.
If you zoom in on the bottom left, you see little dots. Like ants. Those are people lol insane
There’s even a castle
What? Where?
