About the Business
Welcome to Great Hill, a hidden gem nestled in the northern end of Central Park, Manhattan, New York. As the third-highest natural point within the park, Great Hill offers breathtaking landscapes and a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. This historic site, once a strategic location during the Revolutionary War, now serves as a peaceful retreat for both locals and tourists.
Atop the hill, you'll discover a sprawling open meadow, perfect for picnicking, relaxing, and enjoying casual lawn games. Surrounded by lush trees and intimate glades, this area provides a tranquil setting for gatherings and moments of solitude. During the winter months, the hill closes to allow the lawn to rejuvenate, but the views of the park and the city skyline become even more majestic, making it an ideal season for photography.
The Great Hill boasts a rich history, having been transformed over the decades with the addition of game courts, scenic paths, and public amenities. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Central Park Conservancy, the area has been restored to its natural beauty, inviting visitors to explore its peaceful woodland and diverse tree species.
Don't miss the annual "Great Jazz on the Great Hill" event, where the sounds of live music fill the air, adding to the magical ambiance of this picturesque location. Whether you're seeking a romantic spot, a family-friendly picnic area, or a quiet place for reflection, Great Hill promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of Central Park.
Support the Central Park Conservancy in their mission to preserve and enhance this iconic urban oasis by making a gift today, ensuring that Great Hill and the rest of Central Park remain beautiful and vibrant for generations to come. Come and discover the charm and tranquility of Great Hill, a beloved retreat for New Yorkers and visitors alike.
Reviews
"Honestly one of the best spots in the entirety of NYC. Being my home city, the great hill is definitely one of the top spots of all the city and especially Central Park. If you’re looking a place to picnic, sunbath, or just relax, you’ve found the right place."
"it was sunny ,spring and funny day to have a great workout with the amazing group for a wonderful #ironstrenghs"
"Nice place to relax or exercise. Has just a few benches so bring your own chair!! Mostly peacefull. Has a restroom. A dirt waking area encircles the area. Picnic tables if you get there early. Several paths lead away from it. The paved paths are nice quiet. Lead to diffent places."
"This is one of the best spots for groups and families to get together in Central Park. It's off the beaten path of tourists so the place isn't overrun. It's great because there is a lot of open space and a lot of trees to provide shade throughout the day. There is a bathroom and water fountain. If you want to use the space on a holiday or Saturday, get here early to save a space, but there is room even if you come here later."
"Excellent space for dogs to run around free (off-leash) before 9 AM. Very large open area with a running track circling the park. Expect many dogs in the AM and many tourists in the afternoons. Restrooms and water fountain (for pets as well) located right next to the track."
