Avoiding Central Park late at night is advisable. Early in the evening and when it is still fairly busy, you are likely to be fine as long as you are not traveling alone. It is not a good idea to stroll in the park in the dark by yourself. During the day the park is full of people and if you stay in the areas where others are you are unlikely to be mugged, though muggings can happen anywhere, anytime.
Some of the more sketchy areas of the park are back in the woods where you are unlikely to see other people. Again, if you use common sense, you are fine to take a stroll. You will likely be surprised by how many people spend time in the park and you will find yourself surrounded by many others adding to your safety. New York police have worked very hard to make the main areas of the park, especially the tourist spots like the boat lake and Belevdere Castle safe for everyone.
