Survey Bolt

Survey Bolt

Original Survey Bolt

The Survey Bolt is believed to be one of the original survey bolts from when the Manhattan grid was first planned in 1811.  As Central Park was not a part of the original plan, street intersection points may have been marked but left undisturbed since no actual intersection was built here.  The exact location of the bolt is kept a secret for fear that it will be stolen or destroyed. After some intense searching of both the internet and park, you might be able to find it like we did.

Things To Do

From The Philharmonic on the Great Lawn to Shakespeare in the Park to SummerStage, Central Park offers an endless array of things to do, see, hear – and, with two full service restaurants and several cafes, taste.  You can visit The Shakespeare Garden, take in a performance at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater, take a ride on the Carousel – or just sit and people watch at Bethesda Terrace!
