Central Park’s Pool, located on the West Side between 100th and 103rd Streets, is a great area for relaxing, picnicking, and birdwatching. The area is known for its vibrant fall foliage, with red maples, sweetgums, and willows adding flashes of color along the water's edge. The Pool connects to other park landscapes via a stream that flows under a rustic bridge, forming a cascade and continuing through the Ravine to the Harlem Meer. Fed mostly by city water and a natural stream, it also provides a haven for wildlife, including ducks and other birds.
