Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir
This reservoir takes up almost the entire width of the park at the level of 90th St and
serves as a gorgeous reflecting pool for the city skyline. It is surrounded by a 1.58-mile
track that draws legions of joggers in the warmer months. Nearby, at Fifth Ave and 90th
St, is a statue of New York City Marathon founder Fred Lebow peering at his watch.
Conservatory Garden
If you want a little peace and quiet (as in, no runners, cyclists or boom boxes), the six-acre
Conservatory Garden serves as one of the park's official quiet zones. And it's beautiful to
boot: bursting with crabapple trees, meandering boxwood and, in the spring, lots of
flowers. It's located at 105th St off Fifth Ave. Otherwise, you can catch maximum calm
(and maximum bird life) in all areas of the park just after dawn.
