This pond was modeled after the model boat ponds of Paris and is a great place to see radio-controlled sail boats gliding across the water. Nearby is a bronze sculpture of “Alice in Wonderland.”

Agree with the previous reviewers! One of my most ideal locations in Central Park . I recommend going to Knish Nosh . Sit at a table order some food or just order a bottle of wine and enjoy!

Kids loved the remote control sail boats . Large beers (Stella/Becks) were $8 each, but great on a summer day with music in the background.

I love coming here rain or shine. This is undoubtedly a beautiful and peaceful oasis in the heart of the bustling metropolis. A perfect place to have a break and clear your mind

For 135 years, New Yorkers have sailed model boats on this #PricelessNY pond , including 1 celebrated mouse . Can you name him?

Maria Yvonne Tan

Not sure whether this is called the Marina , but it is a very ppular place for pictures, especially for bridal couples. It is better known as the Bethesda Fountain with the Lake pond in the far end.

Diego Rufo

a small pond where modeling fans go to take their little boats so you get to see a lot of interesting boating. Also, the flora nearby is very beautiful. There are always story-tellers on sundays. Read more
