This handsomely designed cast-iron bridge measures a total of 87 feet and spans across 60 feet of the Lake, linking the flowering landscape of Cherry Hill with the sprawling woodland of the Ramble.
The first cast-iron bridge in the Park (and the second oldest in America), the bridge is named for its graceful shape -reminiscent of the bow of an archer or violinist.
Today, Bow Bridge is quite possibly New York’s most romantic setting for lovers — and certainly a muse for photographers.
Rising from the bridge are eight cast-iron urns, installed by the Central Park Conservancy in 2008 as replicas of the originals that had disappeared by the early 1920s. Almost a century later, the Board of Directors of the Women’s Committee of the Central Park Conservancy took up the challenge to restore the urns. A skilled team of Conservancy craftsmen used historic images and took cues from an urn thought to be an exact model of those that originally adorned the Bridge. The Bow Bridge 15 Guests or less.
