Strawberry Fields

Excellent place for socially-distanced events, picnics & music

Are you familiar with the story of Strawberry Fields? Why is it always covered with flowers? Have you ever heard The Beatles song?nThe Strawberry Fields memorial is very close-by the Dakota building, where John Lennon lived his last days and where he was shot at December 8th. The memorial is named after the band’s famous song, that sings about a happier and a bit more unrealistic world.nThe Strawberry Fields are usually covered with flowers and small presents, that were left by fans of the Beatles, John Lennon, and music in general. They still mourn the death of one of the biggest music geniuses that ever walked the earth.nBesides its huge sentimental value, The Strawberry Fields memorial is not the most remarkable thing in Central Park, at least at a first look. It is a landscaped section encircled by floral border. The whole thing is paved by a Portuguese pavement. The curious story here is that it was made by Italian master craftsmen and was donated to New York by the Italian city of Naples. There’s a single word written inside of the circle. It is the word “Imagine” after the title of Lennon’s most famous song. We can only imagine what could have been if John was still alive today…

Love the history of Cebtral Park.

Got to pay my respects to John Lennon, there were people playing Beatles Music and quietly the place. I enjoyed it a lot, and found it to be the most peaceful place in New York

This is always a must visit spot for me! I love it! I wish people would understand that it’s a memorial and be more respectful... many people are there and loud at times, while this is a “quiet place” even posted as such SMH.
