SUMMER IN THE PARK


IN THE GAZEBO

Maybe it is myth to sit in a gazebo and catch the cool breezes, or just better than thinking of trying to stay cool in 90+ degree heat.  Stay cool and enjoy the images.

Beyond the fountain in the Italianate section of the Conservatory Garden stands the Wisteria Pergola.


Cop Cot is a small wooden shelter built in 1984—one of several Central Park rustic structures created with rough-hewn logs in intricate designs.

It may not have the glamour of a classic gazebo, but the permanent tent outside Coler offers a shelter and  great view of the river. It is paved and used for many events.
