Explore the scenic path from Harlem Meer to the Pool.
The walk from the Harlem Meer to the Pool was designed to be one of the great landscape sequences in Central Park. With the construction of Lasker swimming pool and skating rink, the flow was obstructed.
However, starting from the pool and heading east reveals the beauty of waterfalls, bridges, and arches, including the Glen Span Arch, which was designed to act as a frame for the landscaped area.
The pathway under the arch is a favorite route of bird watchers in the spring as they follow the narrow stream.
