A great excursion - my first trip to Central Park this summer. How many people can the park hold? I entered on the east side at 79th, and as I crossed over, dodged a few hundred cyclers and runners, and at least a thousand tourists. I planned to park it in Sheep's Meadow, but it was packed. Packed! I kept on trucking, exited at 59th Street, and called it a day.
