Surrounding the Central Park Pond on its eastern
perimeter, directly behind the statue of Thomas Moore resides a high rock formation
called Overlook Rock.
Climbing Overlook Rock can be a bit daunting,
but well worth the effort. From its highest
point this bedrock outcropping offers a
picturesque view of the Pond and the
graceful Gapstow Bridge and the City’s
skyline beyond. The Pond and its surroundings
are only visible during the winter, early spring
or late fall when the foliage has lowered its veil.
