Restoring Landmarks
Like any living thing, Central Park is constantly changing. The Conservancy is committed to ensuring that this evolution is thoughtful—both considerate of today’s visitors and true to the Park’s original purpose—while tending to all details of the Park’s maintenance and restoration.
Featured Projects
Complete
Park Perimeter Restoration
A beautiful, tree-lined six-mile perimeter rings Central Park. Characterized by its hexagonal asphalt pavers and granite blocks laid out in intricate patterns, the perimeter was first paved in the 1930s and 1940s—and most of it hasn’t been restored since.
Complete
North Meadow Center Reconstruction
The Conservancy recently completed a much-needed renovation of the park facility at the North Meadow.
Construction
Bethesda Fountain Restoration
This project will modernize the mechanical, plumbing, and control systems of one of the most famous landmarks in the park to improve performance, efficiency, and ease of maintenance while maintaining relative simplicity of operation.

Harlem Meer Shoreline Restoration & Boardwalk
The Harlem Meer shoreline restoration project will build upon the Central Park Conservancy's work at and around the Harlem Meer, including our 1990 restoration of the Meer, the East 108th Street and East 110th Street Playground projects, and the Davis Center project.
Construction
West 85th Street Playground Reconstruction
The restoration of West 85th Street Playground will acknowledge the prominence of this playground within the Seneca Village site and re-envision the playground as a play and family gathering space connected to the surrounding landscape.
