before them a runner can enjoy the magic
of the view while pacing their way around

Lower
Reservoir Jogging Track: 1.5-Miles: C86-96
This Lower Track, which follows the course
of the Bridle Path in Central Park, is preferred
by many runners for its unconfining aspect.
The soft dirt of the Bridle Path also makes it a
more demanding run for those who need to
strengthen their lower leg muscles. This run is
also interesting in other ways since it provides
quite a different scenic experience as runners
pass under 3 beautifully designed cast-iron bridges.
This runner is approaching the East 85th St Bridge.
