Things to See

This rough stone arch stands in a cleft between two high rock outcrops. It is considered one of the most picturesque of Central Park’s bridges.

Built in the 1860s as a temporary water supply for New York City, the reservoir is surrounded by a 1.58 mile running track.

This striking, curved monument on the Park’s eastern perimeter honors Richard Morris Hunt, the most prominent architect of his time.

Arching organically into Central Park’s landscape, Rifstone is built with no mortar – only the megalithic blocks of Manhattan schist.

A "playground for all children," this play space was designed to be accessible to children with and without disabilities.

Robert Burns (1759-1796), Scotland's national poet, is most famous for his song Auld Lang Syne.

This is one of two life-size sculptures from Shakespeare's plays at the entrance to the Delacorte Theatre.

The centerpiece of this playground is a large, wisteria-covered trellis that provides shaded seating.

With its inspiring view of the water and Manhattan skyline above, the 1.58-mile track looping around the Reservoir is one of New York City’s most iconic running spots.

This playground features naturalistic hippopotamus sculptures by the artist Bob Cassily, set in a "river" of blue safety surfacing.
