Reviews of Central Park
2022/05/31“My combo of circling most of the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir and the Great Lawn is my favorite Central Park route. Different terrains and scenery with lots of different people around.”
2020/07/29“Beautiful setting around the reservoir but had to run the outermost track as too many people without a mask running and walking on the inner track.”
2021/06/17“Beginner friendly, super safe and straightforward. No pets allowed so it’s perfect for people who are scared of dogs!”

Enter park at Women’s Gate at 72 and Central Park West. Walk straight ahead to the drinking fountain. Start running through the trellis on your left. Turn left down a dirt trail before you reach the stairs. From now on, you’ll be running on dirt, which is softer on your knees. Turn right onto the bridle path, yielding to any horses. Continue on the bridle path about 3/4 mile to the reservoir. Circle the reservoir counterclockwise and return the way you came.
