Gapstow Bridge

Elegantly suspended over the neck of the Pond, Gapstow Bridge is one of the first landmarks to discover after entering the southeast corner of the Park.
The bridge's robust beauty is rivaled only by its view of the Plaza Hotel and other notable skyscrapers. For a completely different view from Gapstow Bridge, just turn around and face north. In the winter, you’ll see a festive scene of skaters on Wollman Rink.
