Similar to the Conservatory Garden, the 23-acre North Meadow is often overlooked because its located in the north end of the park. What a pity that is, especially considering this is one of the best spots in Central Park for fall foliage. You’ll find rocky outcroppings peppered between sugar maples, dogwoods and hickory trees bordering a pristine meadow pronounced by a hilly landscape.
This is where locals go to escape the congestion and crowds of the more touristy Sheep’s Meadow area. It’s a great place to let kids run around or simply to people watch. There’s also a great dog run in the area that’s perfect for letting fido burn some energy.
