More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a pedicab on the corner of 58th Street and Sixth Avenue and the city thins to the sound of spokes and conversation. Trees lean in, the pavement softens to gravel, and the pedicab glides toward the Mall where the stone steps of Bethesda Terrace frame the lake. In two hours this private tour moves with intention: photos at Alice in Wonderland, a pause at the Reservoir’s rim, and a climb to Belvedere Castle for a wide look over the park’s rolling landscape.

Conservation
Managed by NYC Parks and community conservancies, the park relies on visitor stewardship—stay on paths, dispose of waste, and avoid feeding wildlife to protect habitat.
