Identify the prepositions & objects: Central Park, one of America’s first landscaped parks, was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Poor Irish and German immigrants occupied the land prior to the park’s creation. There was also a thriving African American community, Seneca Village, at Eighth Avenue and 82nd Street. The park has been open since the late 1850’s.
