The Mall
Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
Stretching from 66th to 72nd Streets mid-Park is the 40-foot wide Mall flanked by quadruple rows of American elms which create a living ceiling high over the walkway. In the summer, the Mall is a cool shady area where visitors can escape the heat of New York City.
In the fall, yellow and gold leaves create a magical display of color all the way down to the southern end of the Mall, culminating at the charming Bethesda Terrace.
The southern end of the Mall is known as the Literary Walk which features statues of famous literary figures. Read more about New York City's Central Park and browse pictures.
