Northern Central Park

 Holden:

Last weekend we went to the North Woods of Central Park.  I played soccer there.  We saw a river and a couple waterfalls.  The river was long.  My soccer field was there.  We hiked in the woods.  It was dark.  There are lots of big rocks to climb.  We saw tiny chipmunks and squirrels, pigeons and little brown birds.  We saw turtles in the Harlem Meer (a Meer is a lake).  There's a boathouse there where you can go fishing.

We went to the North Woods of Central Park.  We went to the Harlem Meer.  There's a big lake there and there's also a little house where you can rent fishing poles to go fishing.  There are also two little parks there.  In the Meer we saw lots and lots of turtles.  We also walked around a little bit in the North Woods.  I liked it a lot because it was fun to look at the turtles swimming.  After that we went to the Conservatory Garden.  There's a plaque there dedicated to an author.  In that same little area there is a fountain and there are fish.  We hiked through the North Woods and saw squirrels and chipmunks.  There was a big tree where a lot of people had carved their names.  I would recommend going there.  It is a fun and interesting place because there is a lot of nature.
