    The Children’s District, home to the Dairy, was originally conceived as an area to meet the needs of children visiting Central Park. Playgrounds as we know them today did not exist until the early 20th century, so the Children’s District, completed in 1872, was the only spot in the Park that was specifically dedicated to its youngest visitors.

  • Central Park's Literary Walk (Pass by)

    This wide, straight path lined by two rows of American elm trees was designed by Park designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux as a formal promenade and gathering space. Like many areas of the Park, visitors can experience this landscape in largely the same way they would have in the 19th century: strolling, sitting, people-watching, listening to music, contemplating monuments, and admiring trees.

  • Balto Statue (Pass by)

    Balto became famous after a heroic journey across Alaska. In January 1925, an outbreak of diphtheria threatened the population of the town of Nome, Alaska. Weather conditions prevented the transport of vaccines from Anchorage by plane. A relay of dog-sled teams and mushers provided the only alternative. Twenty teams carried the vaccine almost 700 miles in blizzard conditions, a trip that took remarkably only five days and seven hours. They braved minus 30-degree Fahrenheit temperatures, ice floes, and 5,000-foot mountain peaks.
