I just want to go through Central Park and watch folks passing by. Spend the whole day watching people. I miss that.
I believe the National Park Service has demonstrated strong partnerships geared towards respecting the private property of citizens in its administering of the current Trail of Tears National Historic Trail and will continue to do so upon the addition of the routes.
When I was 17, I went to India for six weeks and had what, at the time, was a very challenging trip. You walk down the street and you see lepers and beggars, and there were several of us, a group of Americans. I remember we were just trying to park one night somewhere and people were just sleeping in the parking lot.
Basically, we used to have a rule at ‘Saturday Night Live‘ that you’re not allowed to bring up ‘The Simpsons‘ at the rewrite table, because ‘The Simpsons‘ has done every joke there is. Every week there would be guys going, ‘The Simpsons did that.’ I go, ‘C’mon.’ And ‘South Park,’ too.
I grew up in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington.
I had maybe watched ‘The Apprentice‘ a couple of times. I didn’t know that in later seasons they deported half of their contestants into tents in the backyard. They called it Trump‘s trailer park.
I watch cartoons a lot. I’m a big ‘Rick and Morty’ and ‘South Park’ fan.
I had actually finished the manuscript of ‘The Wild Trees’ and turned it in to Random House when all of a sudden word came. Michael Taylor and his colleague, Chris Atkins, another explorer, have just knocked one out of the park. They found the world’s tallest tree. The tree is named Hyperion, 379.1 feet tall.
Doing Shakespeare in the Park has always been a dream. Everyone else says Hamlet, but I want to play Romeo.
From Under 15s to Under 19s, I was concentrating playing for England, it was close to me, I could just go to St George‘s Park, it was nice. Going back to school when you’ve just played for England, it was amazing, you’re one of the best players in the country, that’s why you’re getting picked.
Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like ‘Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn’t want the kids to use the Skateboard Park’, or ‘Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.’ It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as ‘A Man.’
In the summer Regent’s Park is one of the best places in the world with every nationality playing every sport.
A big problem for me was opening for Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park, two bands that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for me, straight up!
For me, I feel like God is intuition and an inner knowing. I think it’s difficult to be successful without that because that’s where you have to come from if you’re really going to knock it out of the park. For me, it’s more a sort of a universal energy.
It’s an amazing feeling playing at a packed-out Villa Park.
Shake Shack started off as a summer hot dog cart in Madison Square Park. It was not meant to be a company – it was completely accidental. It started off as an expression of community building.
The Ambedkar park represents modern Lucknow. It might not have the stature of a historical monument like the Taj Mahal, but it has an architecture which doesn’t fail to impress.
If you drive to, say, Shenandoah National Park, or the Great Smoky Mountains, you’ll get some appreciation for the scale and beauty of the outdoors. When you walk into it, then you see it in a completely different way. You discover it in a much slower, more majestic sort of way.
The thing I love most about going to the Rocky Mountain National Park is that mobile phones don’t work, and there’s no electricity and no TV.
If you circle above Central Park at night in a helicopter, you’re looking down at the most expensive real estate in the world. It’s the American Monopoly board.
AT&T Park, chalk it up. This is a great pitcher‘s park, great weather. It’s a great place to pitch. It’s all positive and no negative. You can go out and challenge guys. I’ve got the confidence to attack the strike zone and not nibble so much.
I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances.
You can’t have a U.S. Open anymore without an extra course to store all the hospitality tents. I used to be able to drive up to the clubhouse and park like the players. Now, there are seven corporate hospitality guys who have my spot, and I’m on a bus.
I was no different to any other kid of my generation. I played with my mates in the park every day, every spare minute I could.
I would love to throw out the first pitch at AT&T Park at a San Francisco Giants’ game.
I have great memories of playing in the Champions League at Celtic Park. That was something I will never forget, and of course we won a championship and that’s something no-one can take away from me.
Fenway Park is a fun place to pitch in. You’ve got 38,000 fans all cheering against you. It’s an intense atmosphere.
The first time I went to Fenway Park was probably 1950. It was the early ’50s, and it was my father taking me to the game.
I tell people this: It’s hard to write about walking in the park, but it’s easy to write about a breakup.
It’s a very frightening feeling to feel like you can have a busted taillight or wear a hoodie or be playing in a park, and someone can take your life away. To have two children, two black boys, you ask yourself a lot of questions about how do I protect my family. Is there anything I can actually do?
A lot of people don’t realize this, but probably the one person that gets made fun of in ‘South Park’ more than anybody is my dad. Stan’s father, Randy – my dad’s name is Randy – that’s my drawing of my dad; that’s me doing my dad’s voice. That is just my dad. Even Stan’s last name, Marsh, was my dad’s stepfather‘s name.
I have a really small puppy, Georgie, and one of my favorite things is to take her to the park and play with her. I take two classes at middle school, math and chorus, and I love walking home with her after school.
It was exactly the same on the South Park movie really too. There’s lots of violence in that too, but it always came down to anything sexual… They don’t care about anything else.
I played my first ever Test in Kingston in 1990. I’d just graduated from Durham University and there I was, at Sabina Park, playing Test cricket.
Genre expectations can kill creativity. If you do something different, it will get hated. The best filmmakers can do everything on the approval list and knock it out of the park. For me, I have a hard time being creative when I have to color in between the lines.
When I was nine, I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her.
The first thing I do when I come to work, I say hello to my dogs and give them one biscuit each. The butler takes them out to the park and drops them off at the office, so they are there waiting for me. They are very popular in the studio. They play all the time. They run around, up and down, left and right.
I am a big fan of ‘E.T.,’ of course. And I remember watching ‘Jurassic Park’ – I was so into it. Oh, and ‘Schindler’s List.’ That one was amazing, too.
We moved over to Silver Spring, actually near University Park.
Michael had Neverland. It was his mission before Michael passed away to create a theme park, and we are taking over that mission.
Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ball park. Aim for the company of immortals.
I love Griffith Park.
You know, there’s endorphins in laughter, as there are endorphins in running in the park.
I’m an actor. I started as an actor. I started on Broadway doing ‘Hair’ and Shakespeare in the Park.
I stayed back in Delhi for a year-and-a-half while I was working in the corporate sector. My office was in Qutab Institutional Area, and I used to live in CR Park at that point.
The northern border is a different problem set than our southern border. We’re not going to put a fence between America and Canada, across Glacier Park. I grew up there. We can use some technological controls. We work with the Canadians more, and there’s a lot of property we share, along with tribal lands.
People have said, ‘Why don’t you make your own company like Chan-wook Park has his own company,’ but my head is full of writing and directing and I don’t feel like I want to run a company. That’s not really within my personality as well.
I must have been about 13 when I first heard Linkin Park and, to be honest, music had never played that much of a part in my life to that point.
In an amusement park, you can go on a roller coaster that carries you up and down, or you can go on another kind of ride that whirls you around in a circle. Similarly, there are different sorts of entertaining experiences in the theater.
I once had a gig in Gothenburg and went on the most unbelievable theme park ride, which was a rollercoaster built into a mountain that went through plants and tunnels. It was huge and a thrill to go on.
Wilderness, like the national park system, was an American idea.
I legit can not parallel park. This is no joke!
One time, when I was filming ‘Strong Woman Do Bong Soon,’ I had to ask my little sister to bring me something. I was filming a scene where I had to carry Park Hyung Sik and Ji Soo on my back, and my sister just had her eyes on them the whole time. She had no interest in me whatsoever.
The Secret Intelligence Service I knew occupied dusky suites of little rooms opposite St James‘s Park Tube station in London.
I run in London, in San Francisco – any city that’s got a waterfront or park.
Big cities are chaotic. And chaos for humans – who have experience from their ancestors – is the last step before conflict. So, in the park, every kind of visual contradiction has been eliminated.
I remember when I was walking upstairs to sign for Newcastle, seeing some of the things going up that I saw outside was a bit of a dream come true for me. When St James’ Park is fully packed I will be a bit shocked in those first few games, but this is a great club and I am looking forward to it.
We’ve achieved this feeling, for instance, with the colors. The colors in the park are harmonious with each other, not like in big cities where they don’t.
As long as I can remember, I had a strong interest in fishing, and my parents, even though they had never fished or camped, took us on canoe camping trips in the wilderness of Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada, where I could fish to my heart’s content.
Eighty per cent of the membership of the Conservative Party are very keen to make sure that Brexit happens, we’ll be in a position to enthusiastically support leaving the E.U. with no deal and if we are then able to agree a position to put to the country, I think we would hit the ball out of the park.
No, writing musicals is the hardest thing in the world. And it was really funny, because I remember when the South Park movie came out, there were some critics that said, ‘Well it’s obvious that in order to get it to be 90 minutes they filled some time with music.’
I think the audience doesn’t know a movie’s lit, but they feel it. Because you’ve walked in a forest many times, or in a park, so you know how it looks. When you start lighting, subconsciously you know there is something that is absolutely wrong.
I don’t live in New York or California. I’m in the grocery store, at the park with my kids, and I’m a normal person. I’m feeding my chickens and agonizing about my next book!
In London, I discovered a peculiar building by Holland Park where the globe was shrunk to fit a British perspective, but which had a library with Sri Lankan books I had never seen before.
I’ve loved car racing all my life. I watch NASCAR regularly, and drag racing because we have Raceway Park in New Jersey. I think I got it from my father.
I always loved playing basketball. That was never a problem for me. You want to go to the park or the gym, I’ll play with you all day, but working out, I didn’t love. I hated it.
Me and my mate used to go across the park, jump on the Met line to get the Tube into Harrow. There was a sports shop we always used to go into, and there was a McDonald‘s. We used to go off with three or four quid in our pocket. That would cover our train fare, mooching around Harrow, and going to McDonald’s.
It’s been a fascinating thing because we didn’t really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It’s been like, we’ve just sort of grown up a bit and it’s amazing to just see how, if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene, it works.
I’m consistently pro-freedom. No matter where I go, whether it’s Fox or when I’m walking around the block or going to the dog park, I will agree with people on pretty much half of everything. Freedom is something I believe in across the board, and I will fight for that.
I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada – timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts. I really did have to walk home six miles through the snow, like your grandparents used to complain.
I go to Union Square Park, mostly to take care of squirrels.
When I’m in London I do have the convenience of being close to St James Park which is also good for me because it gives me an excuse to get out and get some much needed exercise!
I’m really going to miss all the people in the front office, media relations, marketing, all the great people at the ball park. They were my family for a while, and that part really stings. But life does go on.
Brewer Street Car Park as the host venue is a brilliant development for London Fashion Week. With its position in Soho, it is at the heart of an area that has long been associated with fashion and creativity in general.
What I want to do with my filmmaking is help kids experience the truth and wisdom of nature no matter where they are, whether or not they have the opportunity to go to a national park.
I’ll never forget watching my dad perform in a Shakespeare in the Park production of ‘Richard III’ in New York.
Campuses of best universities of the world will be set up in Knowledge Park.
I go running three times a week – outside in the park, come rain or shine, and I hate every moment of it. I hate everything about it. But I know it’s important for health reasons and the reason why I run, in particular, is because my stage work is like cardiovascular work so I don’t want to lose my breath on stage.
I can always go back to Jane Austen. ‘Mansfield Park’ is full of wise aphorisms and relevant observations of people.
I’m going from Somerset Park one week to Wembley the next. It’s crazy but that’s football. You don’t get to where you want to be without going through all these different places.
I think comparisons are very on the surface. If I sing, like, ‘Park Bench People,’ and there’s kind of a social undertone, people will say I sound like Gil Scott-Heron. But for me, the more insightful comparison would be a Roberta Flack or Nina Simone – people who really mix different genres of music.
And the most unusual and surrealistic place in New York City is Central Park.
Why not aspire to build a real Jurassic Park?
I feel like I lived my life in one of three places: at Indian Hill Park, at a Manasquan school or at the beach.
You only think about things when you see people doing it. Most girls know now they can be lawyers. They know that they can work in an emergency room – they’ve seen ‘ER.’ But I don’t recall that anyone has seen scientists on a large scale, except for a few paleontologists in ‘Jurassic Park.’
I believe the Rolling Stones wanted to play in Golden Gate Park.
I’m always the kid that lived in the trailer park in my mind. So I’m always constantly proving to myself that I’m better than that and that I will never go back to that.
Under the snowcapped mountains of Fiordland National Park, freshwater streams empty into the saltwater fiords, creating a unique ecosystem. This is a heavily wooded park, so the water in the streams is stained with tannin, a substance found in plants that makes clean water seem dirty, though it isn’t.
My mom used to take me down to the Jersey Shore when I was 7, 8, 9 years old. I can remember being down in that area – Belmar, Seaside Heights, Asbury Park and all those places that I went back and revisited.
I’m from New Jersey, the Shore, and Asbury Park and all that goes with that. I wouldn’t want to mess around with that. I like New Jersey. There are nice people here.
I wanted to do a wildlife series. I kept remembering those days in Algonquin Park, drifting along in the bottom of a canoe, and I wanted to transfer that feeling to the viewers.
If you had to point to one thing that made it less likely that the Red Sox would win the World Series, I would say it was those people that go to Fenway Park to watch the games. And then the media around it.
I read the original webtoon ‘Itaewon Class’ before seeing the drama. The character of Park Sae Roy left a particularly deep impression on me, and I really liked him.
My sister and I were very adventurous. We’d play in the park across the road in our imaginary tree house for hours on end and come home on our bikes when it was dark.
We choose the national park idea because it’s really the highest form of protection for landscapes that exists under current law, especially in Chile and Argentina.
I live near Thompson Square Park, and there are a lot of colorful people I see in the park – a lot of different personalities and homeless people – you get to know them. And every now and then, there is suddenly someone who is no longer around, and you’re just like, ‘Wow,’ but you never really know what happened to them.
When I thought about Detroit, I would think big city, very urban – not a lot of places to walk around, not a lot of parks. I sort of pictured Manhattan almost, where, besides Central Park, it’s all city and big buildings. But now that I’m here, you see people pushing strollers, people hanging out in the park.
I don’t think the government should be in the trailer-park business. I don’t think they know how to run a trailer park.
I run in a local park two or three times a week. I probably should do more than I do, but I also do weight-lifting along with that cardio.
I started out doing theater in New York. I used to go to Shakespeare in the Park a lot.
I did ‘Slither,’ so I’ve done seven hours in the makeup chair. So two hours for zombie makeup is like nothing. That’s a walk in the park for me. When you do seven-hour makeup and then eight hours of work, you’re thinking, ‘Oh God, what did this do to me?’ You’re under that rubber forever. It’s crazy.
I have been given permission to announce that I and others from ‘All My Children’ have been approached by the company Prospect Park, who bought ‘AMC,’ with the intention to move it online.
Yeah, my first love was ‘The Simpsons,’ but in terms of movies and stuff, I loved ‘Back To The Future,’ I loved ‘Jurassic Park,’ I loved ‘The Truman Show.’
I can parallel park pretty well – I’m a great driver.
From the start, I used a different kind of girl in Nars campaign images. My choice to use models of colour such as Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell and Karen Park Goude was absolutely a deliberate one. I felt that makeup was universal and should apply to everybody.
Back in the mid ’90s, I went to a film festival, and they were airing ‘Central Park West’ at the same time as this cute little romantic comedy movie called ‘French Exit,’ and I got to go from one theater where I was goofy, falling over myself, to this kind of evil vixen kind of character.
And what could be a hotter ticket than the improbable triumph of ‘The Book of Mormon,’ the musical-comedy moon shot of the season? Its creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, of Comedy Central’s ‘South Park,’ are the most unlikely Rodgers and Hammerstein team ever to bowl a thundering strike.
When you are interviewing refugees, each person you talk to has a different story that could come from a horror movie. So many people talk about seeing their families get murdered before their eyes. Then I go to Central Park, and people are talking about their third divorce and paying tuition.
I love Central Park. I spend a lot of time in there. I try and get in there whenever I can.
I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.
I still love going back to Celtic Park now, whether it’s for Celtic or Scotland games, and seeing the atmosphere.
The Small Faces are thought to be a one-hit wonder in America because we only had ‘Itchycoo Park.’ Then the Faces just had ‘Stay with Me.’ So both bands could be considered one-hit wonders in America, even though we had several huge hits in England.
You have to step up to the plate, and then hit one out of the park.
When I was in high school, the energy in hip-hop at that point was the park energy… I was just trying to develop my style at that point, and I think, when you’re trying to find your style, you find yourself.
When I was 16, I spent a year pushing trollies around a car park, and that wasn’t fun. I didn’t love working in a supermarket; it wasn’t for me. It is for some people, and that’s totally cool.
Obviously I’m a big fan of ‘South Park’, but it gets tiring at times when there’s so much of it.
I went into this little reptile park, and Steve was doing the crocodile show, coincidentally… I was absolutely floored. That was it. This man was a real-life hero. I fell then and there, love at first sight.
I grew up on Avenue C, and Tompkins Square Park was my park. That was where I played ball every day. I lived in that park.
That Evan Dunham fight, I went back to not being serious. I was going to the lake and literally brought some wrestling mats down with me. We have a shop at the lake where we park the boat. I’d throw the mats in there, wakeboard all day, and train all night. I was having a good time, getting back to work.
I grew up in the next town over from Asbury Park and five streets from E Street. My mother fed me ‘Born To Run’ with my Cheerios.
We were in this park in Canada throwing a frisbee around, and there was a homeless guy there who swore to God I was Mick Jagger. I kept telling him I wasn’t, and he kept thinking I was Jagger and wanted to play frisbee with us. Then he heard a siren coming and thought I called the cops – and he ran away!
‘Clybourne Park’ was my first job after the birth of my son, who was 11 weeks old when we started rehearsals. And while that was truly harder than anything I’ve ever done, I was grateful every day to be going to work on such an incredible play, with such a generous, intelligent, supportive group of people.
There is no good scientific reason to bring back an extinct species. Why would one bring them back? To put them in a theme park?
If your child seems to click with another kid in the class, try to set up a time for you to meet at a park after school and get to know their parent. Seeing you be outgoing with the parents of other children will encourage your child to be open and active in their friendships, too!
Seven-11 is the pulse-beat of America. I think that Bruce Springsteen should do a song about a 7-11 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, but write it in such a way that American’s youth can identify and slurp along with the Boss. Hail the Boss! Hail 7-11!
I’ve had a bond with West Ham since growing up as a kid, going to Upton Park, looking up to the players.
One of the reasons I started working at ‘South Park,’ actually, was that I wanted to learn how to structure things and how to tell a story.
No, I wouldn’t let Trump on my stage… I’d just rather fight him in the car park.
If you go to a theme park, there will be so many rides. You will get an exciting experience in each of them. Like that, every film is an experience that entertains you. Some films will touch your heart. Some will touch you emotionally. There is nothing more than that.
When I saw ‘Jurassic Park’ as a kid, that was the first time I thought about making movies for a living.
It isn’t safe to go to the parks. Toxic chemicals ruin the air and water. There is vandalism, even crime, and conscientious park personnel are demoralized.
On May 29 2016, my wildest dreams came true. I became the WBC cruiserweight champion of the world at Goodison Park. The dream location, the dream title, the dream ending, a third-round knockout of Iunga Makabu.
On Sunday morning, I like to go for a walk around London. If the weather is nice, I’ll go to a park or on a lovely bike ride around the city.
In many aspects of government, as in the tech world and investing, brains and temperament smash experience and seniority out of the park.
I worked with a skateboarding instructor for three hours every day. We would go to the park and do ramps. I had to wear a ridiculous amount of gear – elbow pads, knee pads, every kind of pad, plus a helmet – to stop myself from getting hurt.
One day, right after my mastectomy, I went for a walk in Central Park, and there was this mob of people blocking the road. I thought, ‘Oh, great, now I’m stuck!’ but then I suddenly realized that it was a breast cancer walk.
I realized why I can cook for different environments. Because of everything I’ve gone through growing up. Why can I cook for a Hollywood event without blinking an eye? Because I cooked at the Beverly Hilton and because I moved to Villa Park. Why can I cook for kids on Hollywood Boulevard at night? Because I went through it.
Students raised on Park Avenue are born into family situations in which overachieving merely maintains the status quo, and therefore the market is primed for anyone offering services that provide an edge on local peers.
Three ‘Jurassic Park’ movies isn’t enough! You want more!
I spent ten years playing classical piano, and that was what led to keyboards and eventually to production and to Linkin Park.
We believed in our idea – a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.
I can’t wait for summer in the city! I love all the free activities in the parks that become available to us New Yorkers. Yoga and movie screenings in Bryant Park, concerts in Central Park – there’s so much more available to the New York community in the summer! And everyone just seems to smile more.
It means a lot to be back in New York. Particularly since one of the last senior event scheduled in the States was supposed to be here in New York. We were supposed to play in Central Park right after 9-11 and when 9-11 happened obviously things changed.
It was an amazing experience for me to play at Celtic Park in a big European game. It’s a privilege to be a Celtic player, with massive crowds and great fans.
There’s this book that I love called ‘Eleanor & Park.’ It’s an incredible story about these two misfit kids who fall in love. I’ve loved that book for years and I’d be so thrilled if I got to be in an adaptation of that.
I never had a walk in the park in my career.
I actually walk through Washington Square Park a lot.
I didn’t necessarily grow up in a trailer park, but there is a brief part of that in my life. So I can make fun of it a little bit. I’m not too much of an outsider, where I’m just making fun of someone.
Looking at yourself through the media is like looking at one of those rippled mirrors in an amusement park.
I like to take walks in the park by myself, where no one can bother me and I can think.
It’s not an easy game at Goodison Park – it’s always difficult there.
Glaciers are almost gone from Glacier National Park.
What I see as the particularly exciting prospect for writing horror fiction as we go forward is setting stories in more internal landscapes than external ones, mapping out the mind as the home for scary things instead of the house at the end of the lane or lakeside campground or abandoned amusement park.
Dublin dwindles so beautifully; there is no harsh separation between it and the country. It fades away, whereas London seems to devour the country; an army of buildings come and take away a beautiful park, and you never seem to get quite out of sight of a row of houses.
Engel & Volkers is international, high end and associated with the very best in real estate which is well represented by our new Park Avenue address.
Trey Parker did ‘Book of Mormon.’ It’s the best Broadway show I’ve ever seen. He does ‘South Park.’ It’s wonderful.
When you’re really young, dating girls, and trying to explain Kiss, they just look at you like you’re kind of crazy. I think they got so big in the Seventies and were such a phenomenon – they did the ‘Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park’ movie, the solo records – some people only know the merchandising stuff.
Park Bo Young was like a teacher to me. Personally, we were good friends, but at the same time, I admired her acting and learned a lot from her.
I originally wanted to go into sports, but my first concert was KISS at the shooting of ‘KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park.’ The minute I saw Gene and Paul… it was all over. I knew that’s what I wanted to do.
When it’s your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.
The Conservative Party mustn’t sound like the old man on the park bench who says things were better in 1985, or 1955, or 1855.
I see something new in ‘Gosford Park’ every time I watch it.
I’ve always been very passionate about issues. Being speaker, you kind of have to park the positions on issues and focus more on the rules.
The main thing for me is that anything I design, I try to design it with just a little bit of pizzazz, something that’s going to allow the family to stay home and enjoy the space as opposed to necessarily having to always go to a park or something.
The park achieved a kind of reality. Like these virtual reality games the children are playing with. I told them we were doing this 40 years ago! Disneyland is virtual reality.
A factory that can turn carbon nanotubes into a sheet a yard wide and long enough to stretch one-fourth of the way to the moon is not something you’ll find at your local industrial park. That’s the show-stopper for the space elevator. The ribbon.
I’ve gone down to the Jersey Shore every summer since I was born. It’s like a second home, and Asbury Park is like the capital – it’s the center of all of it. Musically, it’s incredible.
‘Pride and Prejudice’ is often compared to ‘Cinderella,’ but Jane Austen’s real ‘Cinderella’ tale is ‘Mansfield Park.’
I love running in Central Park.
I have known Aparna Sen for many years. We worked together in her film ’15 Park Avenue’ which was in English.
My youngest brother and I went on a ten-day canoe trip in Bowron Provincial Park in British Columbia years ago. Believe it or not, we took only granola, thinking we’d be eating a lot of lake trout. Well, we neglected to bring along a net, and our fishing line was only 8-lb. test.
As a kid, I was pretty obsessed with dinosaurs and the day that my parents took me to Dinosaur National Park, I didn’t think life could get any better.
I had a stroll like this in the park with somebody, and I saw the ice and I thought, ‘what would happen if I go in there?’ I was really attracted to it. I went in, got rid of my clothes. Thirty seconds I was in. Tremendous good feeling when I came out, and since then, I repeated it every day.
I graduated on a Friday. By Monday, I was doing Shakespeare in the Park.
We were driving by the local athletic association in Orange Park, Florida, and there was this sign for T-ball signups. I was maybe 6 or 7, and my dad looked at me and said, ‘Hey, do you wanna give this a try?’
I always wear sunglasses and often a panama hat, even if I’m just walking in the park, if the sun is hot.
Last week I was in London at an awards show, then I flew home and was in an RV park with my wife and kids in our motorhome, this week I’m in NY doing a charity event, and tomorrow I’ll be coaching my daughters soccer practice. I guess the range of roles I play on film stem from the range of roles I play in real life.
I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all, but when I got home, it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.
Planning a garden, park, building, or city shouldn’t be done in an office.
If you’re let go from Celtic, the club you support, and go to Queen’s Park, people think it’s a disaster. I don’t think I cried, but I was very upset. As a young boy, your dream has been taken away. But I had good people around me, and it was probably the best thing that happened.
Very normal trajectory of a fighter‘s career – you start out fighting at the YMCA. You move on to the dog park. You get into a coliseum. On your way out, you go back to the YMCA, and then you finish up at the dog park.
When you go to the park, there is no horizon – just Disneyland.
I sold door to door for a couple years. As the years recede from the event, I remember less about it, which is probably good for my mind. It was home improvement in Cerritos California, Buena Park, that area.
Mr. Rickey, I’ll put more people in the park than anybody since Babe Ruth.
Linkin Park has been a band for such a long time, for me, in my eyes. I was 16 years old when I first heard them. I heard ‘Hybrid Theory,’ and I was floored at what I was listening to. It was angry yet melodic, it had hip-hop and it had – it was just different, good. Good songwriting.
I grew up with park jams. That’s how I knew about rap… The local MCs would grab the mic and start rapping. I just used to be so in awe and fascinated and like, ‘Wow, this is amazing!’ But I would never, ever touch the mic. Heck no.
Always at Goodison Park, Everton is a very good team.
My favourite example of good technology is the automobile. I travel all over the world and if I want to drive a car anywhere, I get in and put the key in the ignition, shift out of park and drive. I don’t need an instruction manual.
I love Central Park. I feel like I am somewhere else.
I’m perfectly happy doing nothing. I’ll hang around the house and take the dog to the park.
I love New York; I love the city. It’s impossible. It’s a theme park of a city, isn’t it.
My favourite place in the world to run is Stanley Park in Vancouver. One loop around there is perfect.
I, at times, was disappointed when my songs were neglected by executive producer Park Jin-young, but learned a lot in the journey finding out what would appeal to a wider audience.
The 1980s will seem like a walk in the park when compared to new global challenges, where annual productivity increases of 6% may not be enough. A combination of software, brains, and running harder will be needed to bring that percentage up to 8% or 9%.
I’m doing things in Manchester with the Trafford Sports Park in partnership with the Manchester United foundation and I’m also doing things in Newcastle as well. It’s something I’m passionate about.
If you think I’m a walk in the park, come walk in this park and see how easy it is.
Surprisingly, it was not an American but a British company that opened an amusement park in 2007 called Dickens World, located in the English county of Kent, complete with an Ebenezer Scrooge Haunted House, a Great Expectations Boat Ride and the as-advertised ‘costumed Dickensian characters.’
I remember me and my brother would watch ‘Beavis and Butthead’ or ‘South Park,’ but we’d be all secret about it because we didn’t want our dad to know. And then before I know it, I’m in fourth grade and me, my brother, and my dad are watching ‘South Park’ together.
Now I’m the father of three young boys, I find myself using GoPro to film them more than anything – trips to the amusement park, the beach, the pool – just chasing them around as they grow.
Typically, an historic site is considered by the National Park Service to contain a single historical feature, while generally a National Historic Park extends beyond single properties or buildings.
My dad used to take me and my brothers to the park to play football all the time. I remember every moment.
I come from West London. I support a football team there called Queens Park Rangers, whom I’d like to give a shout-out to. I’m a die-hard Rangers fan. I think that I would always hopefully have a strong connection to and live in London, because it’s a brilliant city.
I make appearance at local park and recreation agencies when the program starts, when they have the qualifying meets at the local levels. Then I try to go to the regional competitions, and of course I’m there in Hershey, Pa., in August for the North American final.
Probably my favorite piece of music, as an album taken as a whole, is Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Greetings from Asbury Park.’ I just think it’s incredibly pure. It’s a sound that sort of broke new ground, and I think it paved the way for a hundred people that sound very similar.
I still play hockey every now and then, and I still golf. But my biggest exercise is walking my big dog in the park every day.
Like nightclubs and sporting events, entry into an amusement park is a permission to become someone else. We come for the experience and to relish it.
I’d quite like to film in Central Park. I think we have asked, but we’re not allowed to.
I miss driving to Goodison Park. I miss just the positive energy of the fans walking into the stadium and how much they care about that club and the team. And I miss the players a lot.
I would probably build somewhere between a half-mile and three-quarter-mile track. It would be sort of like Indianapolis Raceway Park. When I was a kid, that was my favorite track.
I was skating with friends in my neighborhood, and then eventually I was invited to go to the skate park with one of them. When I saw people flying all around – literally flying in and out of bowls – that is when I knew I wanted to do it. I wanted to figure out how I could get there and how I could fly.
My relationship with the mountains actually started when I was 16. Every year, a group used to be taken from Auckland Grammar down to the Tangariro National Park for a skiing holiday.
In Copenhagen, we all ride bicycles everywhere, partly because it is impossible to park a car, but also because you can cross the city in 20 minutes on a bike.
Michael Giacchino is a fiercely creative musical mind and a true ‘Jurassic Park’ fan.
Although I’ve made notes for things and even written synopses sitting in trains or on park benches, for the complete composition of things I need absolute solitude, preferably an empty house.
One day I was at the park with my family, all my cousins and stuff, in Frankston… We were all just singing a song and my aunty was like ‘oh guys, she can actually hold a note.’ I think that’s the earliest memory of someone actually pointing me out as someone that has an ability to sing. I was probably like 7 years old.
I think that by playing centre midfield in the middle of the park, I’m doing something which comes naturally to me.
You know you are grown sentimental when you start counting the cygnets on the duck pond in the park to be sure none has perished since you counted last.
Nothing’s really been handed to me, and I’ve stayed in the game long enough to get an opportunity that I’ve been hopefully knocking it out of the park every chance I get.
We don’t have a full black community in Boston. Our people are scattered. There’s a middle class where I live in Highland Park but it’s not like a piece of Washington or Chicago.
St James’ Park was always, in the course of my career, a great place to play football, for the wildness of the crowd and the no-holds-barred football that both my team, Manchester United, and Newcastle would play.
I think I’ve only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.
If you’re willing to take risks, Twitter is a vast amusement park of interesting life possibilities.
I call myself the Amusement Park. That’s because I’m funny and scary at the same time.
When I think about Edmonton, Silver Street and Pymmes Park, the old people whose faces are so unhappy, it pushes me to be better. I want to be better to help places like this.
I was actually the manager of the games department of an amusement park when I was at college, so I understood the coin-op side of the games business very well.
Sometimes I Rollerblade to work, but it’s most lovely in the park, and it’s really quite safe there. I do it quite carefully, and I wear all the gear.
My earliest memory is a picnic in the park near our house, which was next to Wimbledon Common. Why on earth we went to a park when we lived so near the common is a mystery, but it had formal gardens and lawns – perhaps it was that very difference that took my parents there.
Here in London, you can go for picnics and have a barbecue; you can go to a park and wear bare feet, much like New Zealand. But there’s just so much buzz going on; you can be inspired by anything and everything. There’s always something to do. Always.
I did an open air gig in Regent’s Park and that’s an incredible venue because the sun sort of sets while you’re on stage and you can see the audience so brightly.
There’s no real downside to any sort of work that I do. I’m all so grateful for it, but I wouldn’t say that animated work is just a walk in the park. It is easy, it’s really fun, but I don’t know why I really stress myself out every time I’m about to go in.
When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?
But if I ever fight in Northern Ireland again, I want it to be at Windsor Park.
I’m an actor because of movies like ‘Indiana Jones‘ and ‘Jurassic Park.’
When I grew up, we went to Coney Island and Central Park. We’d find our way to the water and watch the fireworks.
People are always like, ‘Oh, ‘Jurassic Park’ is on…’ or ‘Oh, ‘The River Wild’ is on…’ I actually haven‘t seen any of my movies in a long time. Being more self-aware now, and being an adult, I’m a little bit embarrassed to watch them.
None of us want to live in a society where people are forced to sleep in shop doorways, on park benches or in dangerous, run-down buildings.
I studied natural resources planning and thought I could get a job at some marine park. But I was great at art and so-so at marine biology. It’s funny how the two eventually came together.
It’s always strange going back to Villa Park for me.
I grew up a Red Sox fan. I grew up going to Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts and the Science Museum and Symphony Hall and going to the Common, walking around. My whole family at different times lived and worked in Boston.
Wyoming, home to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons, is also the country’s largest coal producer and one of its largest gas drillers. Two-thirds of the state’s gas-drilling rigs are on public lands in the increasingly industrialized Greater Green River Basin.
Randall Park and Ali Wong, they are so many things; they’re not just one thing, they’re bigger than just their identity.
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.

South Park started as a little video Christmas card.
I’ve always been fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland.
My happiest moments are when I’m with my family and when I go to the park at school with my friends.
In our benighted age, when films about amusement park rides and electronic fidgets scoop the honours, perhaps Hollywood redux is the best we can hope for.
The biggest barrier to dealing with climate change is us: our own attachment to habits that are hard to shift, and our great ability to park or ignore uncomfortable choices.
We’re so surrounded by so much of this marketing and just being told on a regular basis that you have to like this, you will go here, you want this. I found that to me that fit perfectly into what a theme park of dinosaur would be about.
I realized eventually that when I ran out of places to stay and found myself on the D train and in Central Park, I was actually homeless.
When I was growing up, we used to play basketball in a park that was never shoveled when it snowed. The basketball rims were never fixed. And we understood then that there was a relationship between public policy and our quality of life.
Walt put everything he knew about communication with images into the park, so it was very familiar.
I’d give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
When I started writing, I was reading people such as Tom Clancy or Michael Crichton, who did ‘Jurassic Park,’ which is possibly the most action-filled book you’ll read, apart from mine, and I said to myself, ‘Why aren’t these guys doing big-scale action like you would see in a movie?’
My favorite place is Central Park because you never know what you’re going to find there. I also like that when I look out the windows of surrounding hotels, it’s seems like I’m looking out over a forest.
If you put me in ‘South Park,’ that audience is going to fall asleep in five minutes.
Because I write what I feel the most heavy about. So if there is one day of the week when I feel completely crushed by existential dread, I’ll end up writing about it, not the great day I had at the park with my friends. I hope it resonates with people – and it does, with some.
My first job was a commercial for Ball Park Fun Franks.
I don’t know of a single park without serious environmental problems.
We do a lot of bird-watching up in the country, but we almost never have a chance to people-watch. There simply aren’t enough human beings up here: there is nowhere you can park yourself with a cup of coffee and observe the species on parade.
Even though the National Guard and Army Reserve see combat today, it rankles me that people assume it was some kind of waltz in the park back then.
I grew up in D.C. but always had a love affair with New York. I did ‘Central Park West,’ ‘Sex and the City,’ ‘Law & Order.’
There is literally nothing I can describe that’s better than scoring at Celtic Park.
I’m kinda disapointed that Canada isn’t like the South Park movie said it was.
Only one in five children in the U.S. lives within walking distance of a park. Many more lack access to a quality early childhood education that provides ample time and space to play.
If I ever had to be on an amusement park ride, I probably wouldn’t get on one; I’m not a very adventurous person!

In St. Louis, some people were hurt seriously when some fans got on top of a roof that was where other fans were underneath it, at a park somewhere, and it collapsed.
I’ve always been interested in wolves, since I was a child. There was a wolf enclosure in a wildlife park very close to where I was brought up; they were the main attraction.
In the 70s and 80s, Dad was ‘the most hated politician in Britain’. When I started at Holland Park school, the papers turned up and there was a photograph of me published – skinny me in white shorts lining up with lots of other kids for PE. And I was 10.
Forget all the bars and schmoozing and everybody checking out everybody else. My ideal date would be to park in a dark place, check out the stars, and have a great conversation. When all else fails, you can just make out.
Well, Smoke n’ Mirrors has very much a world music flavor and it doesn’t park itself in one country. It borrows heavily from the Brazilian angle, which is dear to my heart, and I recorded several albums with that flavor.
I got to portray a park ranger on ‘Gilmore Girls,’ the reunion films. And when I was a kid, that was one of the things that I wanted to be – I wanted to be a forest ranger or park ranger.
