Imagine Mosaic, Strawberry Fields

Highlight • Monument

At the 72nd Street, on the western side of Central Park, you will find the Strawberry Fields, where the John Lennon followers of the Imagine mosaic meet to sing. The monument is located near the Dakota Building, before John Lennon fell victim to an assassination attempt on December 8, 1980. Incidentally, his wife still lives in the Dakota Building and regularly comes to the memorial to lay flowers there.
