Tips
The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir is Central Park's largest body of water, spanning 106 acres between 86th and 96th Streets. It is a popular spot for joggers and walkers due to the 1.58-mile track around the reservoir with scenic views over the water to the skyline. It is also a popular site for birdwatching and is surrounded by blooming cherry trees and rhododendrons in spring, with the east side known as Rhododendron Mile. The reservoir was built between 1858 and 1862 and was once the world’s largest man-made water body. In 1994 it was renamed for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a former jogger here.
