Central Park: My Favourite Place
Central Park is a huge park in the centre of my city. It is two kilometres long and has a large lake and many playing fields.
You can see tall trees, lovely gardens and amazing birds there. You can enjoy beautiful landscapes and fresh air. You can ride a bike, play football or have a picnic with friends. In winter, you can skate on the ice rink.
It is my favourite place because it is quiet and friendly. I always feel happy there.
