Eaglevale Arch carries the 77th street entrance to the park through the Naturalists' Gate, over the bridle path and a pedestrian walkway to connect to West Drive. Though it is over 110 years old, Eaglevale Bridge is actually one of the newer arches in Central Park. The path leads to what was once the Ladies’ Pond (reserved for ladies-only ice skating in the 1890s. Robert Moses filled it in in 1936 and replaced it with a playground. Even today, the water, which lurks underground, floods the area after a heavy rain.
