At 72nd St and Central Park West, Strawberry Fields is a peaceful
region of the park dedicated to the memory of John Lennon, who in
1980 was murdered in front of his home at the Dakota Building,
across the street on Central Park West. Strawberry Fields draws
people here to remember Lennon, as well as picnickers and seniors
resting on the park benches.
Near
the W 72nd Street entrance to the area is a round Italian mosaic with
the word "Imagine" at its center, donated by Yoko Ono and inariably
covered with flowers. every year without fail on December 8th, the
anniersary of Lennon's murder, Strawberry Fields is packed with fans,
singing Beatles songs and sharing their grief, even after all these
years.
