Central Park Statues

Since 1863, twenty-nine sculptures have been erected within New York City’s 843-acre Central Park. Most have been donated by individuals or organizations, few by the city itself. While many early statues are of authors and poets along “Literary Walk” and American figures like Daniel Webster and “the Pilgrim”, other early works were simply picturesque, like The Hunter and The Falconer; other notable statues include the statue of Balto, an Egyptian obelisk called the “Cleopatra’s Needle”, Alice of Wonderland, and Duke Ellington Memorial.
