From the reviews
SOOOO much to see and do in Central Park blessed to have seen it all in the 2 weeks. Tho I reckon if I was there for a short time maybe I wouldn’t have been able to see the entire park. Nice little "castle" in the middle of the park 😍 plenty of toilets around these areas too and spotless clean.
I was on a long walk around Central Park and passed by the Delacorte while looking for the Belvedere Castle. It is a rather large structure on a rock hill with a fantastic view of a lake and the park. Very busy area with lots of people taking pictures and going inside the building to get info. A great spot up high.
A nice sight and stopping point during a walk through Central Park. The castle has a narrow spiral staircase up to an observation deck (through the gift shop). There are two other verandas that overlook Turtle Pond (aptly named). There are also tours available. We probably spent 30 minutes here in total.
A very pretty and historic castle! • Was able to pass by and visit this beautiful spot during my morning walk around the park. • Even prettier after the snowstorm — everything surrounding it was covered in white. • Well-maintained and very clean surroundings.
