11 mysterious places in Central Park, which you did not know

Perhaps New Yorkers do not have backyards near their homes, but they do have Central Park. This is 341 hectare of natural beauty. It is not enough just to walk in the most popular places. It is better to move away from the beaten tourist paths and discover serene meadows, secret paths and long-forgotten places. So rent a bike - you need to ride a decent distance to see the 11 mysterious places in Central Park that we recommend.

Whispering bench in Shakespeare's Garden

You may have heard of the Shakespeare Garden with 16 thousands of square meters planted with flowers and plants mentioned in Shakespeare's immortal works. Even if you were here, you may have missed the one of a kind curved granite bench. If you sit at one end and whisper, then a friend sitting at the other end will be able to clearly and clearly hear your words.

Loch

The creek, known today as the Loch, in the 17th and 18th centuries was called Rivoulet Montaine. It was dammed in three places to create stunning artificial waterfalls.

Glen Span Arch and Huddlestone Arch

On the way along the Loch's current through the Gorge there are two stone arches. One is the Glen Span Arch. After it, go under the bridge to find two artificial grottoes. Then walk north along the stream and you'll see Huddlestone Arch.

Seneca village ruins

Even before the ideas of creating Central Park on its western outskirts there was an Afro-American village. After the villagers left their homes, which were subsequently demolished, they forgot about the existence of a village in New York - before the 1990 goals, when Roy Rosenzweig and Elizabeth Blackmar’s book Park and People: The History of Central Park came out. In 2011, archaeologists discovered a copper kettle and children's shoes at the site of the village.

Bank Rock Bay

This paradise for birds is an ideal place to sit quietly with a book and watch some of the 200 bird species found in the park.

Block house

The blockhouse is the oldest building in Central Park. It served as one of the fortifications during the 1812 war of the year. Stone construction survived until now.

Place Academy Mount St. Vincent

At the very heart of Central Park, Mount St. Vincent Academy was once the first institution offering higher education for women in New York. Unfortunately, in 1881, the fire destroyed the building to the ground, but this place is still worth a visit.

Hallett Nature Reserve

The Hallett Nature Reserve was opened to the general public only in 2016 year. At first the place was a bird sanctuary, but now you can find a variety of exotic plants there.

Ramble Cave

In the early years of the park, the Ramble Cave was very popular with children, teenagers and troublemakers. After the suicide in the cave, the place was closed to the eyes. Today you can only look at what remains of the cave.

Secret Christmas tree for pets

This tree is so well hidden, and its location is so secret that very few people know how to find it. Every December, the mourning owners of animals are sent to the tree in the more often park to hang ornaments, souvenirs and photographs on the branches.

1811 bolts

John Randall Jr. was the chief engineer of the streets of New York at the start of the 1800s. He marked all the crossroads of the city with white marble markers or iron bolts. Most of them have been lost forever, but historians have found at least a 1 bolt and 2 white markers in Central Park.
