Design
editThe artwork for the game is based on Central Park. The backglass shows the backdrop of Manhattan, and the foreground includes a 'park character', and a monkey ringing bell. The playfield shows relaxed visitors to the park in different situations, using predominantly yellow and green colors.[2]
Gameplay
editCentral Park has a large gap between the flippers, causing the ball to drain easily. The goal of the game is to raise a special called the Tree Bonus by collecting numbers. The player can collect numbers by hitting targets at the top of the playfield. Every time 100 points are scored in Central Park, an animated monkey on the backglass will ring a bell. Hitting the 7 and 9 lights up a bumper, earning 10 points instead of the usual 1. The 2 and 4 also lights up a bumper.
Digital versions
editCentral Park is included in Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection.[3]
The table is available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade.[4] The table is defaulted to five ball play.
