From there you'll and your family will bike around the Lake to Strawberry Fields and the Imagine Mosaic, New York's internationally inspired memorial to John Lennon.

A short bike ride east past the Statue of Daniel Webster will bring you to Cherry Hill and its beautifully ornate fountain. A short ride down the hill will bring you to Bow Bridge, a brilliant example of cast iron design and one of the most photographed and filmed sites in all of Central Park.
