CBS reports that Central Park has now been closed and is being evacuated after the incident.

Closing Central Park would be pretty difficult to do. It's 2.5 miles long and about a half mile wide with over a hundred entrances. Most likely they contained a small area.

Although all indications point to this being a fireworks incident

I've seen fireworks that can blow off your fingers, but this blew off the guy's foot. This was a lot more powerful than any firework. Probably a small IED.
