Turtle Pond

Comparative solitude close to the craziness of the Great Lawn. And turtles .

If you can't get enough of the turtle in the big pond , there are more here. How can you not like a turtle ?

A good place to get away from It All, without really leaving It All. Turtle-watching at Turtle Pond is relaxing and will bring out the "wildlife biologist" in anyone.

Sit on the rocks and see how many turtles you can count.

The cool Polish equestrian statue nearby is King Jagiello -- read more about him here: http://www.centralparknyc.org/visit/things-to-see/great-lawn/king-jagiello.html

A place for cultural riturals and folk dances and musical performances this focal promenade is an offering to quietude and festivity .

Scenic spot for a picnic

Grab a hot dog from the cart then park your ass on the grass & take a well-deserved snooze. The end! #turtsbonus

Bring grapes , the ducks and turtles loved them.

My summer go-to spot. Dog friendly and perfect for spending lazy afternoons laying in the sun. Read more

Bring some bread to feed the turtles ... there are hundreds of them in the pond !

Usually more sitting space here than in the Great Lawn.

TURTLES! Best part of Central Park !

head up to Belvedere Castle for cool breezes and a nice vista of the pond :)

My dog tries to jump in here every single time!

Super great picnic spot!

Picnic and people-watch on the grass on north side of turtle pond

Amazing sommer day

Watch out for the random toddler drawing on strangers with chalk

Go to the MET and see the fabolous Leonardo da Vinci there!!!

I like turtles

Scope out a spot under a tree . Don't forget a frisbee !

Cómo dejar de ir, los Hot dog recomendables sentados en el pasto y con la vista de grandes edificios.
