Not realistic: no electric bikes or muggers in the picture.
Given the time of day depicted in the cartoon, I’d strongly suggest all of the people pictured to get the hell out of the park immediately!
A working water fountain? I love fiction!

Listen, I went there many years ago before the paid event and got to see the sound check with Jay-z and Alicia Keys ‘New York’. There was hardly anyone there. The grass was beautiful and I kicked off my sandals and twirled around just taking in the whole city. But, in more recent times if it’s going to trample the grass so badly and have the Great Lawn closed for months, not worth it, no matter the cause.
