What part of Central Park is shown in this clip near the end? There are lots of people in an area around water (not a huge body of water) with sidewalks and benches around the water also.
It's at 9:30-10:05 in the clip.

Thanks.

I believe it's "The Pond" in the south east corner of the park.

Really? I thought it might be Harlem Meer on the northeast corner. I've seen so many pictures of the Pond, and none of them looked quite like that.

At 9:47 the camera goes from the pond up to Essex House which is on Central Park South.

YouTube - Central Park

The last body of water shown, for about the last minute of the clip is The Pond and Gapstow Bridge near the 53rd St & Fifth Avenue entrance to Central Park. It is one of the most popular areas of the park because it's close to the business district in midtown. The pond has turtles, koi fish, hawks, egrets, and of course, great seating for catching a few rays before heading back to work. I just came back from Central Park this afternoon (the bottom photo was shot today). The pond separates the pedestrian part of the park from a nature preserve that abuts it. It is a very scenic and restful setting if you follow it as it heads toward 7th Avenue.

Thanks. I was probably thinking of looking that up (building address) before I posted the question. It slipped my mind.

Those are great pictures. I love Central Park, though I have yet to even visit New York. It's going to be a major destination if I ever do visit.
