Brooke and Piper's Central Park
Much of the story of Brooke and Piper occurs in or near Central Park on the island of Manhattan, one of the five boroughs (counties) of New York City. Central Park was created in the 19th Century, roughly in the center of the island. Four of the five boroughs are on islands which sometimes makes traveling from one to another a bit of a chore, taking time and patience and sometimes even involving a ferry boat.Central Park is the go to place for tourists and New Yorkers alike to find a bit of nature away from the noise of the busy city. It's stocked with playgrounds, walking paths, woods and meadows.
