Just a small area of Central Park. All of the park is wonderful. If you are a Lennon fan, it's nice to say you were there and saw the memorial. Beyond that...just enjoy the park. More

I happen to have gone there on the occasion of John Lennon's birthday and the unfortunate anniversary of his death. Each time was very moving. The people who gather and lay flowers or memorabilia and the sing alongs that accompany the gatherings are quite enjoyable. Good place to visit when in the park. More

Was looking forward to this, however was dissapointed by the story tellers spinning yarns in order to make a few dollars for beer, 1 of whom was talking about how he had met John Lennon, however I doubt he was even old enough to have met him. More

The murder of John Lennon was horrifying and a loss to all music lovers. This spot is the closest park setting to the building where he lived and died and as such is a tribute to his memory. It is only a small spot, not worth a long or difficult trip but if you are in NYC and nearby, it... More
