Central Park details

The Ramble’s 36 acres were designed to look like the forests of upstate New York and include winding paths and trails, rustic bridges, a meandering stream, dramatic rock outcroppings, and dense plantings. The Ramble is a popular destination for exploring and enjoying nature and is also one of the best places in the Park for birdwatching. Located in what is known as the heart of the Park, the Ramble is near some of Central Park’s most important scenic landscapes and features, including the Lake, Bethesda Terrace, and Belvedere Castle.
