Central Park NYC - The Pond - Gorgeous and Tranquil - The comma-shaped Pond is situated below street level, which has the effect of dimming the urban noise of Manhattan and creating a most surprising calm. The gracefully shaped Gapstow Bridge arches over the northeast end of the Pond, framing the picturesque scene. This is the second bridge of the same name on the site. The original design is attributed to Jacob Wrey Mould was built in 1874. In a park filled with unusual bridges, this is one of the most unusual: it was made of stone abutments with cast-iron filigree and two semi-circular wooden arches. The wooden arches and flooring deteriorated, and the bridge was replaced in 1896 by the present simple stone structure made from unadorned Manhattan schist.
