Central Park
Flowering Trees, The Mall, Literary Walk
65th to72nd, east-middle section
To the left (out of sight) is the Literary Walk and Mall; we'll come back here soon, but we can't miss these wonderful flowering trees and bushes. See the purple bush? |
It's big! It's near East 66th Street by the north-south drive.

Looking back from the east side's north-south drive.
There are magnolias and crabapple and cherry trees here.
One of my favorites
This statue of Balto, a tribute to sled dogs that helped combat epidemics with medicine deliveries, is just east of the red brick Willowdell Arch (E. 67th). Let's return to the Literary Walk and Mall, which begins where we crossed the road coming from the Carousel. |
| The Mall is a very wide promenade that runs from 66th Street to 72nd Street near the east-west center of the Park. This circle leads to it. |
The Literary Walk: Many statues and busts line the
Mall. Most are authors, but as you can see, there are other famous men
too, including Christopher Columbus. |
William Shakespeare
The Mall
| These fences were put up before the New York City Marathon. The Parks Department is also trying protect the elm trees here. |
Near 71st is my favorite, Ludwig van Beethoven. He's next to the band shell.
Naumburg Band shell
Maple and a bust to the right of it
We've reached the end of the Mall. Restrooms are
below, and the Bethesda Fountain, Terrace and Lake are across the road,
which joins E. 72nd and W. 72nd. |
