Suggestions for Running and Track near Central Park, New York

Ale T. • February 21, 2017Favourite spot for a jog, even though it's the most crowded in the Park as the path is pretty narrow. Offers amazing sunsets on the lake too!

Peggy • December 1, 2018Take a break from the rolling hills of Central Park and run along this mostly scenic path along the river. Super flat – my Garmin usually picks to single-digit elevation. Beware of the wind sometimes.
