Great pic again, I just love it, I can see where I go play and ride my bike!

actually it's a reservoir, and it's not really a bridge, you could say it's a road that passes through it.
I never took any pics of it, but here's what I found:

hope that answers your question.

that's one mindblowing aerial!

central park looks like the ultimate getaway from the concrete and brick jungle of manhattan. it's so lush and green, the best city park ever in the world.

You can get a really good idea of how huge the park is because you can see all the city blocks it intersects.

I know it'd never happen, but I've always wondered how good it would look if they stuck a tall tower (1000+ footer) somewhere inside the park. It'd have the ultimate views. Problem would be access to it though.

An observation tower around the great lawn would be cool.
