The arch, designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould in 1861, is made of pressed brick with granite trim, and its festive yellow and red bricks and beige voussoir blocks harken back to a time when this part of the park was designated the Children's District. One side of the original railing remains with the other side being a reproduction from 1989.
