Strawberry Fields, Memorial in Central Park, Manhattan, United States.

The 2.5-acre Strawberry Fields features a circular mosaic with the word 'Imagine' at its center, surrounded by native plants and dawn redwood trees.

Following John Lennon's death in 1980, Yoko Ono contributed one million dollars to establish this memorial, which opened on October 9, 1985.

The memorial bears the name of the Beatles song 'Strawberry Fields Forever', referencing a children's home near John Lennon's childhood residence in Liverpool.

Visitors can access the memorial through Central Park West at West 72nd Street, participating in walking tours or sitting on benches along the pathways.

Artists from Naples, Italy created the black and white mosaic centerpiece using Portuguese pavement techniques based on a Greco-Roman design pattern.
