The Ramble

Description
-
The Ramble in New York’s Central Park was designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, with a goal to give the park a natural and wild appearance. It was built on uneven terrain, aimed to allow people to escape from the commotion of the city. The ramble is laid on in a very intricate way, forcing people to wander and discover new, mysterious paths. Before the creation of the park, this land was home to the Seneca Village, which was displaced when the park was being developed. The community was predominantly American and Irish immigrants, making it a place where they could escape from the discrimination of downtown New York.
