The Hallett Nature Sanctuary is one of three woodland areas of the park.


Location: MAP | East Side from 60th-62nd Streets, just south of Wollman Rink
Hours: Open daily, 10:00 am until 30 minutes before sunset.

Hallett Nature Sanctuary is a four-acre nature preserve located just northwest of the Pond at 5th Avenue and Central Park South.

It has a single entry and exit point, specific opening and closing hours, and a limit on how many people are allowed within the area.

You'll find several walking paths that intertwine and take you to scenic viewpoints, waterfalls, and rest spots with rustic hand-hewn benches to sit amongst the birds and wildlife. 

No dogs, bicycles, or strollers are permitted.
