See Central Park in the Age of Social Distancing
New York City is on pause—but Central Park remains open. New Yorkers still visit the Park in search of mental and physical well-being, and Conservancy staff ensures the Park stays clean and accessible. This is a spring like no other, which photographer Elliot Stern captures in these Park photos from recent weeks.
