The tour starts off at Grand Army Plaza across from the Plaza Hotel. The first stop in the park is The Pond and Gapstow Bridge. Katherine then takes you through the Central Park Zoo where you will see some seals playing as well as the Arsenal and the Delacorte Clock.

Next, you will see the Wollman Rink, famous for Central Park ice skating, as well as the Chess and Checkers House and the Dairy, before moving on to The Mall and Literary Walk, the most recognizable promenade in the park. Katherine will also point our Sheep Meadow and Tavern on the Green.

Then it is on to the Bethesda Terrace and Arcade where you will see arguably the symbol of the park, the Angel of the Waters sculpture in the fountain, along with The Lake and the Loeb Boathouse.

Strawberry Fields and the Imagine Mosaic, the memorial to John Lennon is your next stop. Lennon lived across the street at the Dakota Building, where he was tragically killed.

Finally, Katherine will guide you over the Bow Bridge, through The Ramble, the park's "forest" before ending at the fairytale Belvedere Castle, where you will get some wonderful views of a portion of the northern half of the park, such as the Delacorte Theater and The Great Lawn.

With over 843 acres (400 hectares) of meadows, hills, ball fields, and bodies of water, it’s impossible not to find something to enjoy in Central Park, but we can't see it all on this tour.
