Redefining the Park Experience For Everyone
The World of Parks is a consulting firm created by a group of visionaries who aim to transform what people can see and do in a park. Our first project in the World of Central Park made New York’s Central Park a more engaging and visitor-friendly destination that anybody can enjoy.
Tour De Force
Urban Adventures
Discover The World of Central Park with our unique GPS Adventure APP. It will engage users of all ages looking for exciting activities to have some spontaneous fun! Isn’t that what the park is all about! Download it and use it in The World of Central Park with no roaming charges.
Engaging in Escapades
Watch our new TV series, The World of Central Park, and be a part of the unexplored daily life of Central Park locals and visitors from around the globe. The series will take you on a journey many have never experienced while in the world-renowned Central Park.
You will meet characters of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds through the Dogs, the Children, the Weddings, the Events, the Landmarks, the ‘WildLife’, the Extreme Sports, the Sculptures, the overall Mystique, the Musicians and Artisans, as well as the Underground.
This microcosm of humanity comes to life before sunrise and interacts until after sunset through every season and weather. Watch every episode and you'll get to discover it up close and personal!
Indulging in Curiosities
For those of you that are “planners”, this is the way to go!
When you arrive in New York City, simply stop by our participating sponsors or find our Tea Carts near the park and pick up your free map and complimentary tea!
Fraternizing with Locals
Park by Day, Broadway by Night. It’s a natural fit!
As natural as Broadway Baseball at the Hechsher Ballfields, come see Broadway Legends strikeout and hit home runs, every Thursday in The World of Central Park!
Daily ‘Shout Outs’
World of Central Park (WOCP) insiders, who have spent over 6,500 hours of fun in the WOCP, post to Facebook, Instagram, SocialCam, and tweet daily live updates from the center of it all in The World of Central Park!
Every day, every path, and in all kinds of weather, the park writes its mystique-filled narrative.
So if you follow us on Twitter or Facebook and are in the area, you can come and dance with the cast from “Glee” or stand a few feet from Colin Farrell as he films a final scene from “Winter’s Tale”. You can also hear live opera, walk your dog to Sheryl Crow LIVE, see Robert Patterson filming “Remember Me”, watch as “The Wizard of Oz” lands his balloon on Cherry Hill and so much more.
If you miss any of it live, you can enjoy these events from any mobile device anytime.
Magical Encounters
What world is complete without magical mysteries that must be believed simply on faith? We explore the park through the eyes of a young girl and a world of animals and fairies who dwell in the secret spaces in The World of Central Park presents On Willow Pond. This encounter of the magical world of faith is for children of all ages.
Time Capsule Citizenship
Become an official citizen of The World of Central Park by simply adding your photo or video to our timeline on Facebook. Be part of our ever-expanding TimeLine Capsule and enter a chance to be chosen to be featured on our TV series.
Families may also add photos from years gone by, engagements and weddings, or visits from 20 years ago! Every season the photos will be gathered to create a photo mosaic which will be featured on all of our sites and have interactive capabilities to easily find your treasured family photos.
Weaving Wondrous Tales
Inspired by actor and writer John Lithgow’s book “Micawber”, our young avid writers from local New York City schools will create and share their favorite personal adventures in this online book section. Adventures through the eyes of children will reveal new ways to look at our world!
As we wait for their stories to be vetted, please enjoy our favorite book about two of our treasured park landmarks in the Antique Carousel and MICAWBER. Our favorite resident squirrel delights over 40+ million visitors every year with his antics!
Meaningful Memorabilia
Enjoy an array of iconic hats and shirts and a great line of clothing that will be made here in the USA! A percentage of all proceeds from this line will be donated to NYC Parks and Recreation Dept. as a way to meet some needs of Central Park and all New York City parks.
Parks serve humanity's need for connecting to Creation with 'free' environments. We hope to increase funds for many needed renovations due to excessive use by locals and visitors. Buy into a brighter park future with our classic park wear and get out for an adventure!
Want to purchase a product that will remind you of our fabulous unforgettable world, which will also lift your fellow man out of poverty and into a better life? Our products are specifically produced by NGOs who use the proceeds from your purchase to help the lives of people around the world.
For instance, our silver sculpture of a WOCP Pedi-cab was made in Bangladesh and proceeds from their sale are used to rescue children out of poverty and put them into school programs with medical attention and food.
Tea in the Trees
Imagine a spontaneous tea party under the branches of our hundred-year-old trees with your loved ones! There you are, just strolling along and you spot it! Our colorful kaleidoscope of FUN cart, filled with complimentary teas and an array of other goodies to enjoy.
