The Central Park Reservoir - now officially named the
Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir is located between
86th and 96th and covers a full one eight of the park’s
surface. The 106-acre water body is 40 feet deep and holds
over a billion gallons of water. Once a critical part of
the city’s fresh water system it was disconnected as an
active component since the new water tunnel was opened in 1991.
It is probably best known now as home to the 1.58 mile running
track that surrounds it. (sorry about the exif information! This
was taken around 2230 HR.)
