Central Park to improve shared spaces and mobility

Central Park will undergo significant changes in 2025, led by the Central Park Conservancy. The park aims to address urban policy challenges, including improving shared spaces and enhancing mobility options for visitors. Starting today, crews will repave and restripe the park's six-mile loop road. This update will create more space for pedestrians and joggers, redesign crosswalks, and establish safer bike lanes, separating them from leisurely park users. Additionally, the new Davis Center at Harlem Meer will open next month, featuring a year-round pool and skating rink. The Conservancy will also introduce a Ranger Corps to address quality-of-life issues in the park, enhancing visitor experience.
