The Central Park visitor passes
through the Vanderbilt Gate into a classic
Italian garden.
Stretching out before them is a magnificent
rectangular lawn with cleanly geometric
hedges.
Paths border the grass lawn at the north and
south lined by Siberian
crabapple trees, which bloom
with fragrant pink and white blossoms in the
spring. At the far west end is a wisteria pergola
and at the foot of the pergola is a circular
fountain with a high misting spray.
