Central Park · Directions

Central Park combines the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, broad lawns, gardens, woodland, water bodies, playgrounds, sports, and cultural attractions across the center of Manhattan.

The zoo and other attractions operate separately, and the park is far too large for one generic arrival point. Pick a specific entrance and destination before going rather than treating every facility as nearby.
