Hiking

The building is very impressive inside, also the art you can look inside is a worthwhile visit.

Hiking

Even without visiting the exhibitions, the building itself is worth a visit. In the "inner courtyard" there are some interesting photo opportunities.

The Pool, Central Park – Central Park South loop from 110 St–Malcolm X Plaza

11.2km

02:55

80m

Embark on a diverse urban escape with this Central Park loop, guiding you from the tranquil, naturalistic North Woods to the bustling southern end. You'll wander past the serene waters of The Pool, lined with red maples and willows, and navigate secluded trails with rustic bridges and small waterfalls. The route then transitions to more open, manicured landscapes, offering a comprehensive view of the park's design. This moderate 6.8-mile (10.9 km) hike, with 249 feet (76 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes about 2 hours and 50 minutes, providing a varied experience for those who enjoy both wild and cultivated park environments.

Your journey begins at 110 St–Malcolm X Plaza, a convenient access point for public transportation. No special permits are needed for this Central Park adventure. For the most picturesque experience, consider hiking in autumn when the foliage around The Pool and throughout the North Woods is at its peak. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear, as the trail surfaces vary from soft, natural paths to paved sections.

This trail is notable for showcasing the deliberate contrast between Central Park's wilder northern sections and its more formal southern areas. The North Woods, where The Pool is located, preserves the original ravine of Montayne's Rivulet, integrating natural water features into the park's design. It's a significant birdwatching spot and offers a unique sense of seclusion within the city, making it a standout option among Central Park North trails and loops.
