The city will also be blocking off a portion of the reservoir on the West side of the oval near 95th Street, forcing runners to detour onto the nearby bridle path. The reservoir, known as the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, stretches from 86th to 96th Street.

The work is expected to start in April, and the water will be restored to its prior level by August. Correction: we initially reported incorrectly that the running path would be diverted near 85th Street. Serious question — what do they do with all the fish and turtles that make their home in the reservoir?

Their homes will be eight feet lower. They should file a complaint with the city for a reduction in services. They are only lowering the water 8 feet. It is about 40 feet deep so there is no problem with the wildlife. The Central Park Reservoir feeds the water that flows into the Pool the pond on the west side near nd. This feeds the Loch, which in turn feeds the Harlem Meer. The Reservoir is 45 feet deep. Draining off 8 feet should leave plenty of water for the fish and turtles, but it may have some impact on the supply to the Pool.

Time will tell. The work is being done in the North Gate House which is at about 95th Street. The area of the running path that will be temporarily closed is likely there, not 85th Street as the story suggests.

Could you imagine the logistics and liabilities involved in this? Now I would vote to fill it up with fish and let people go there to catch their dinner and take their kids fishing, etc. Actually, all of this is an awful idea. It features both a wading pool and Olympic-sized pool for visitors to enjoy. The pool is currently closed. Spanning acres and at 40 feet deep, the Reservoir holds more than one billion gallons of water.

Along the shores of the Reservoir are three gatehouses, which house pipes and other infrastructure. Catch-and-release fishing is allowed in Central Park at three locations: Harlem Meer.

The Central Park Lake. Reminder: Swimming in the Central Park Reservoir is illegal. From The Philharmonic on the Great Lawn to Shakespeare in the Park to SummerStage, Central Park offers an endless array of things to do, see, hear — and, with two full service restaurants and several cafes, taste.
