12 HIDDEN SECRETS in Central Park | New York City

I run in Central Park almost every day (in fact I've run #everypath a few times), and along the way I've found quite a few hidden secrets. Here's a list of my top 12 secrets of Central Park. And along the way, 12 random facts about the Park too.

The secrets and facts are organized by geography. I start in the Southeast corner of the Park and end in the Northwest corner. You can follow my path, all 6.3 miles, here:

1. Hallett Nature Sanctuary - Be sure to check the schedule here:
Central Park Conservancy website: http://www.centralparknyc.org/things-to-see-and-do/attractions/hallett-nature-sanctuary.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/
My other video on the Sanctuary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYfKVkYB9FM
Precise Location: (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hallett+Nature+Sanctuary/@40.7666397,-73.9750243,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x1cc31411348799ba!8m2!3d40.7666397!4d-73.9750243)
2. Rat Rock Bouldering (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Umpire+Rock/@40.7689725,-73.9782286,245m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x1cc31411348799ba!2sHallett+Nature+Sanctuary!8m2!3d40.7666397!4d-73.9750243!3m4!1s0x0:0x4372d987987f83b4!8m2!3d40.7691241!4d-73.9777711) Rat Rock is colloquial. The actual name is Umpire Rock. But outside of Google and Central Park's website, I've literally never heard anybody refer to it as Umpire Rock.
