The southern end of Central Park is its most visited; but some of the Park's most beautiful fall foliage can be found in its northern regions. Take a tour of the Park from the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center, perched at the northern shore of the Harlem Meer, down to the East Meadow, recently restored from dust bowl to lush lawn by the Conservancy. You'll see leaves in bright shades of yellow and red near the Harlem Meer; a vibrant yellow crabapple and colorful chrysanthemums in the Conservatory Garden; a beautiful rust-colored Turkey Oak on the way to the Mount; and trees of all colors on the perimeter of the East Meadow, including one of the Park's oldest trees.
