Ducks at Bethesda Lake
Made by *Checco*
At the heart of Central Park is the Lake. Created out of a large swamp, the 22-acre Lake was intended to provide boating in the summer and ice-skating in the winter. Opened for skating in 1858 at a time when the winters were particularly harsh it was said to accommodate up to 40,000 visitors on one day alone. Not until 1950 when its was closed to skating did the Park winter change dramatically. Replaced for skating by the Wollman Rink, the Lake was returned to nature and the wildlife residents who now dominate it no matter what the season.
