Strawberry Fields is a 2.5-acre garden in New York City's Central Park, dedicated to the memory of slain Beatle John Lennon. Directly across the street from where he lived and died in the Dakota Apartments, the garden opened in 1985 after a one million dollar endowment by his widow Yoko Ono for its landscaping and care. With a simple mosaic memorial that reads "Imagine" as its centerpiece, the garden serves not only as a remembrance of Lennon the man but of his ideal of a peaceful world.
