When Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed Central Park, they imagined an immediate reprieve from the city’s streets. The Pond became a serene escape, just feet from Fifth Avenue.

The Pond is one of Central Park’s seven naturalistic water bodies. Despite the millions of visitors who walk by the water’s edge each year, you can still find a sense of solitude. It’s hard to believe that this setting – like almost all of Central Park – is completely man-made.
