A walk in the Arthur Ross Pinetum in Central Park at West 85th Street is always a surprise because of the wonderful scent of pine which surrounds the visitor as they walk among the trees. This collection of pine trees features 14 different species and more than 450 magnificent trees.
The Arthur Ross Pinetum is situated at the northwestern corner of the Great Lawn. This area of Central Park features several playgrounds for kids, including the Ross Pinetum Playground for children of all ages. The large picnic area surrounded by pine trees is a perfect spot for a family picnic in the summer.
In the winter, birdwatchers often spot migrating long-eared and saw-whet owls sleeping in the pine trees during the day.
