Secrets of Central Park
Part IV: The North End
By Laurie Lewis
In the past three issues of this newsletter, we explored hidden gems in the southern and middle sections of Central Park, as well as in the area around the Great Lawn and Reservoir. As we continue north, we’re going to what might be the best-kept secrets because fewer people visit this section of the Park. They are missing fantastic views and surprising history! As you enjoy this lesser known part of Central Park, keep in mind that everything is man-made except the rock outcroppings.
