New Book "Imagines" John Lennon And Yoko Ono's Central Park
new book details the history of Central Park’s famous Strawberry Fields landmark.
Their love of Central Park was no secret — it was a place where John Lennon and Yoko Ono found peace and beauty, just steps from their home, the Dakota.The Central Park of today, however, is a far different one than the new residents experienced almost 40 years ago.“ When they first moved to the Dakota in 1973, Central Park was not a very happy place, and it didn't look good, and John and Yoko actually had the idea to donate some grass seed to the park,” says historian Sara Cedar Miller.Of course, it would be more than grass seeds that would forever bind the couple to the park.In her new book "Strawberry Fields: Central Park's Memorial to John Lennon," the historian and photographer for the Central Park Conservancy details how the creation of Strawberry Fields, named after the John Lennon-penned Beatles song, would revitalize the rest of the park.
