Where do I start walking in Central Park?

I think it's best to start your walk from the southwest corner of 59th St. and 5th Ave by the Pulitzer Fountain. It's easy to find the spot because the statue is located directly in front of the Plaza Hotel's main entrance and if you follow the pathways you will end up at 72nd St. and Central Park West.
