Length : 15km
Height difference : 100m
Duration : 4h
Considerations on the day : On Christmas Day 2023 we treated ourselves to a nice ride in Central Park in the heart of Manhattan. It wasn't too cold, in fact we kept warm as we pedaled.
We regretted choosing the bicycle to get around Central Park a little because on a bicycle you have to follow the park counterclockwise without leaving the road unless you push the bicycle. Nonetheless, we managed to enjoy everything to the fullest and see all the most beautiful and renowned spots. Beautiful day.
Premise : Getting around Central Park by bicycle is certainly a very useful choice if you want to comfortably see all the attractions of Central Park. If you have time, however, it is also possible to travel around the entire park (at least the southern part of the reserve) on foot without having to follow an obligatory road.
By bicycle it is necessary to follow the 14km long ring road anti-clockwise, you must respect the direction of travel, the only two-way stretch is that of the road that cuts through Bethesda Terrace, the road that closes the short ring of the area south.
This route offers a tour including detours in which it is necessary to get off the bicycle to reach the points of interest. This way you can tour the entire park without missing any highlights. In the pushing sections it can be heavy to push the bike but it's worth it, alternatively if you have the desire and patience you can chain the bike before the detour by walking without ballast.
For tourists it is possible to rent a bike in one of the many bike rentals, we relied on Unlimited Biking on 53rd Street (daily rental included in the New York Pass).
Description: the circular route starts from Midtown Manhattan entering from the southern entrance near Cop Cot, then continues counterclockwise passing through:
- Sheep Meadow (0.8 km)
- The Mall (1.2 km)
- Bethesda Terrace and Arcade and the Naumburg Bandshell (2.1 km)
- Turtle Pond (3.1 km)
- Belvedere Castle (3.8 km)
- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir (5.2 km)
- The Pool (8.4 km)
- Oak Bridge (10.6 km)
- Bow Bridge (11.5 km)
- John Lennon's Imagine (12.0 km)
- Dalehead Arch (12.8 km)
- Gapstow Bridge (14.2 km)
