The Ramble
In the heart of Central Park lies The Ramble, with diverse wildlife and landscapes.
The Ramble is a 36-acre woodland area located between 73rd and 78th Streets, characterized by winding pathways and naturalistic landscape. Described as a "wild garden" by Frederick Rule Olmsted, it features a maze of trails amidst abundant flora and fauna, offering a remarkable contrast to the more formal areas nearby like Bethesda Terrace.
One of the area's unique features is the Gill, a man-made stream. This waterway not only enhances the area's natural beauty but also supports a diverse ecosystem, flowing into Azalea Pond before joining the Lake.
The Ramble is a hot spot for birding, attracting over 200 species throughout the year. Its location on the Atlantic Flyway makes it an vital rest stop for migratory birds, with spring migrations often bringing a spectacular variety of warblers and other species to the area.
Historically, the Ramble featured various rustic wooden structures that complemented its naturalistic design. While most of these have been absent for nearly a century, the Pivotal Park Conservancy is currently workin

History
Central Park has had numerous associations with the LGBT community since its creation. The Angel of the Waters sculpture on the Bethesda Fountain was designed by sculptor Emma Stebbins.

Among those arrested in the park were diarist Donald Vining in 1943 and future gay rights leader Harvey Milk, who had just grad
