Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

Can't bring your dog on the trail that overlooks the lake ; a little lame bc park time is usually an experience shared with a canine friend, but you can still see the gorgeous city views on all trails .

Named after the cutest Jackie ever to marry a President this magnificent reservoir practically fills up the entirety of Central Park .Maybe the most splendid lake in the world.Certainly the most iconic

Iconic views of the city . If you're visiting please don't bring your bike/stroller/dog/tractor on the running path. Slow pokes(like me) keep to the right and let the runners pass.

The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir located in Central Park in Upper Manhattan is 1.58 miles around. Enjoy the beautiful view that’s equal parts nature, equal parts urban paradise. Read more

There's no better time to walk around this reservoir than when the sun is setting. Absolutely stunning! And different every night!

Try to come here during spring (usually mid April) to see the Cherry trees in bloom. Gorgeous!

Originally built as a backup to the NYC's main water supply , the reservoir now serves as an ecological sanctuary that houses more than 20 species, including herons, egrets, loons, coots, wood ducks. Read more

Great place to see the face off of the west and east side Apt's. They've lowered the fence from years pass, making the view more accessible. Look at the water and you will see turtles and birds

I've been fortunate to take this peaceful walk around the only city to live; Manhattan. I met John Jr. at the premier of Alessandro Ford's first movie . Legends have sweet tastes .

If you're not running, be mindful of those who are and walk in the right direction. Otherwise enjoy all 1.5 miles of the loop - perfect on a summer evening.

Pretty much beautiful any time of day. If you can do sunset from the East side you will get some great silhouettes of the West side

Lovely view ; funny how you see the skyscrapers of the dynamic city rise behind the peace and quiet of the water and the park around it.

Splendid view ! Get a delish hot dog right by the lake and enjoy the moment. Guggenheim museum is just steps away on 5th ave.

Should be called an oasis not a reservoir , amazing running track and city views

Originally built in 1860 as a temporary water supply for NYC and named after the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1994. This also offers a breathtaking view of Midtown Manhattan skyline.

It's an absolute recommend to visit this magical place at sunset . Read more

Beyond-words beautiful. Please walk or run counterclockwise as is requested so everyone can enjoy their time.

Serious runners stay on the road while the rest of us take the scenic route around the reservoir . Pretend you're in a Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks movie about life in New York. Oh that's just me?

Beautiful spot with scenic views . Great spot to run or jog.

Jog, walk or just stroll, best views are from the north looking at the skyline

My spot. Beautiful views , great place to go running or a long stroll through the park .

Go for a run around sunset and have your mind blown by the beautiful setting.

The view south from the northern edge of the reservoir is my favorite in Manhattan. Sunset are cool from the east edge too!

The most scenic – and flat – loop in Central Park ! The loop is approximately 1.5 miles and filled with sweaty and sexy runners and walkers.

One of my favorite places in the city to run! There are few better places in the city when the weather is nice.

On any day, I can't keep myself from not going for a run at the Central Park Reservoir - it's my non-ending affair with the most beautiful (and work-out-able) place in the park ! Read more

Already ran the 1.5 mile reservoir loop? Amp up your workout by running sprints up the Great Hill ; located on the west side of the park at 106th St. Your glutes will thank you tomorrow. Read more

This is a great place to jog or walk. One of my favorite places to walk

You have to see the sunset in here, it's beautiful! Although it's a little windy especially at the east side

One of my all time favorite NYC spots. Gorgeous views . Walk around once...or run. Beautiful in fall or spring.

This loop turned me into a runner . One of the best parts of the park . You will forget you're in a hustling city .

This 1.5 miles pace allows joggers/runners to pace themselves in their running routine and to develope the necessary stamina for the longer runs. Enjoy the stunning view .

Great place to walk or jog!

Counterclockwise is the key word. Seriously! You have to respect the walking running directions. Walking clockwise pisses people off.

Built, 1858 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. After 131 years of service, decommissioned & renamed in honor of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1994. Run two counter clockwise loops for a 5K.

The city 's main water supply with a huge range of wildlife .

Make sure you follow the signs and traffic lights, yes, traffic lights in a park :)

Unlike the gym , this track is BETTER when crowded . There's plenty of space for everyonem great views & the footsteps behind u motivate you not to get lapped.

Crazy busy on the weekend - great views

Wonderful place to walk around or run if you are into that

There are no bikes or strollers on the Jackie O path. @nycparks please consider more signs and enforcement.

There are only a few points of entry or exit, so once you're in there, you can't really get out. You have to go the whole way around, which forces you to get at least 1.6 miles of exercise.

It's 1.57 miles around the reservoir path and one of the nicer strolls you can take around Central Park .

A beautiful setting to take a stroll or feed the ducks!

Good atmosphere, a lot of green. Very pleasant place.

A beautiful setting in Central Park for a stroll or feed the ducks!

My favorite place to run in Central Park

Pristine views of downtown. Stop running counterclockwise please

Get your runners on and walk or run around the Reservoir .

Love walking here. No bikes , strollers, or dogs allowed. Love it!
