The creators of Central Park

-






The crown jewel of Central Park, Bow Bridge’s slightly swooping ‘archer’s bow’ has held held the hearts of native New Yorkers, tourists, couples, brides and grooms, movie-watchers, joggers, row-boaters, photographers, and fishermen since it was built in 1862. The epitome of New York romanticism, this Victorian cast-iron bridge was built with ‘classical Greek refinement,’ incorporating elements of Gothic, Neo-Classical, and Renaissance design, and has eight three and a half foot tall planting urns. The bridge spans 87 feet, with a walkway of ipe, a South American hardwood that turns a deep red when wet. The bridge is the second oldest cast iron bridge in America. The passageway was created as part of the plan of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux (the creators of Central Park) to develop an interwoven transportation system of pedestrian paths, bridle trails, and carriageways, with a system of compact bridges and archways that would allow for a large amount of competing paths within a small area.
