In the summer of 2022, the Central Park Conservancy resurfaced the park path east of Sheep Meadow, adjacent to the Mall and south of the E. 72nd Street cross drive. The area is a popular space for recreational activities, including roller skating, roller hockey, learning to ride a bike, and more. It is also an area that is heavily used by permitted special events to set up activations and finish line festivals for runs and walks.
The resurfaced asphalt will provide an improved experience for Park visitors. It will also be better able to withstand the impact of necessary vehicle uses for special events and Park maintenance.
