The Pool — Local services in New York

Probably the best place in Central Park to see the fall colors as they reflect over the water. This is a very scenic and yet secluded spot, as it's not that visible from the central park loop or even the 102nd transverse (though one may have a better chance of discovering this area if coming from here) If one is taking the loop, the area is on your right just as you are at the last part of the downhill section after the long and arduous west drive hill climb from Central Park north. It is indeed a fascinating area and the ducks seems to like it as well as they congregate in many numbers, enjoying the pool. There are also mini waterfalls. The fall scenery, with the combination of red, yellow and almost gold leaves on the trees as they reflect off the pond on a sunny day doesn't last long though. maybe at most a week when the temperature goes below 50f. Good place for picnics, exploring and/or just sitting on the bench and enjoying both the view and the sounds of this...

Stunning place. The Pool is a quaint spot gem surrounded by lush weeping willow trees. In fact the Pool is one of the most beautiful places in Central Park. It's a favorite watering hole of many species of birds and fish and is very popular with locals who enjoy having this tranquil oasis just a few steps from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan’s...

A small pond in the middle of Central Park. There were a couple guys fishing in it and one threw his line in and pulled a fish out in only seconds. I'm not sure he was supposed to do it, but the rangers who walked by didn't mind.

It's a pretty place to rest and relax, especially in the middle...
