When did Central Park in New York City open In the late 1800's?

Central Park in New York City officially opened in 1858, although it began to be developed in the years following the initial design competition won by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. The park was gradually opened to the public in stages, with significant portions accessible by the early 1860s. By the late 1800s, Central Park had become a vital recreational space for New Yorkers and was largely completed in its original design.
