The Pond in Central Park
Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
Located in the southeast corner of Central Park, the Pond is a calm and romantic getaway from the fast pace of New York City. The picturesque Gapstow Bridge, covered with plants, provides scenic views of the Pond, the Plaza Hotel and other Central Park South buildings.
The Central Park Conservancy recently completed a reconstruction of the Pond, as well as the paths and the flower beds that surround it. They also added a new island habitat for birds and turtles, and a waterfall.
To the north of the Pond lies Wollman Rink which offers ice skating, the Central Park Visitor Center and the Central Park Zoo. Read more about New York City's Central Park and browse pictures.
