Morphology
The sense of 'Central Park' is directly built from 'central' (located near the middle) + 'park' (a public green/recreational area), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer it denotes a centrally located park. It is a proper name for the famous New York park, and recognizing that specific referent requires cultural knowledge, but the basic compositional meaning is transparent.
Etymology
Central Park is a simple name: central means in the middle of the city and park means a large public green area made so city people could enjoy 'nature' and fresh air. That's why Central Park now means the big public park in the middle of Manhattan.
