Who is Frederick Law Olmsted?

 Frederick Law Olmsted was an American landscape architect, often regarded as the father of American landscape architecture for his role in the designing of many well-known urban parks including Prospect Park and Central Park in New York City, as well as Elm Park in Worcester, Massachusetts. Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux won a competition to design the Central Park in 1858 and proceeded to work on this project. Situated in middle-upper Manhattan, New York City, the Central Park is today the most visited urban park in the United States as well as one of the most filmed locations in the world. It has been a National Historic Landmark since 1962. The Prospect Park was another major project designed by Olmsted and Vaux. It is a 585 acres public park in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, situated between the neighborhoods of Park Slope, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Ditmas Park and Windsor Terrace, and is counted among the best-known works of this landscape architect.
