The Imagine mosaic is located near the entrance to Central Park at West 72nd Street.  An area of the park was renamed “Strawberry Fields” on October 9, 1985, coinciding with John Lennon’s 45th birthday.

The circular mosaic is ringed by benches shaded by mature American Elms and is a great place to rest and plan your tour. You may meet John, the (self-declared) Mayor of Strawberry Fields, as he is laying out his daily decoration of the mosaic. He talks to groups that come to the mosaic about every 10 minutes and will point out the floors of the Dakota on which Lennon and Yoko Ono lived as they are visible from the circle.
