Located along the Central Park West Drive by 82nd
Street, the Winterdale Arch derives its
name from a part of the West Drive that
was once known as the Winter Drive due
to the many evergreens that were
planted along its stretch.
Both riders on horseback and pedestrians
can enjoy passing through its graceful
portal as it carries both a bridle path and
pedestrian path under its
expansive archway.
