Relaxing Area Of Central Park

Feb 2019 • Family

This is a really nice and relaxing area within the park. We visited in winter so it was extremely cold. The park features lots of benches, so in the summer I imagine it’s even nicer to relax away from the hustle and bustle of NYC.

Did someone say fishing?

Nov 2012 • Family

Fishing here is awesome, but be careful there is a gator :)
There are docks you can fish from as well as sit and enjoy nature at its best

Less crowded than other areas

May 2023

Nice little pond with plenty of seating around it and did not seem as crowded as other areas of the park.

No more Gar Pond

Jun 2016 • Couples

Unfortunately Gar Pond is dried up. We recently attained a permit to go to Gar Pond and fish. When we got there we were shocked to see that the pond has dried up. We were very sad to see little fish skeletons every where. I would have thought that someone would have checked on the pond and made some kind of arrangement to save what fish were left with nets and transport them to Horse Pond or Pit Pond. It's really sad to see Gar Pond die.

Pretty Pond

Oct 2021

One of the sites in Central Park, we gazed at it on our big walk around the major sites. The city is so lucky to have this great resource right in the middle of so much dense development.

Stunning in November

Nov 2021 • Solo

The pond in Central Park is well worth a visit. The colours on the trees and the stillness of the water is amazing. Recommended.

Peace and quite in NY City

Oct 2019 • Solo

Attractive pond (with features) at the southern end of Central Park. It’s a peaceful place to hang out and away from the madness or the city.

Relative solitude

Apr 2019 • Couples

We were here on a rainy Friday and there were very few people about. A nice respite from the rest of the city.

Picturesque duck pond which features a mysterious mandarin duck

Dec 2018 • Family

This beautiful pond sits at the southeast corner of central park and can be seen from central park south. Situated in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the world, this urban pond has impressive skyline views, beautiful foliage during autumn and the Gapstow bridge seen in many movies. It's a great pond to sit at and feed the ducks and watch people. The area was already heavily trafficked with tourists, but it has become even more famous recently due to a brightly colored mandarin duck which has taken up residence there.
