New Yorkers: Can you tell me where this big rock outcropping is in Central Park? Nearest streets?
I believe that’s this guy.
Thanks, but I don’t think that’s it. Central Park has numerous rock outcroppings, so the trick is to find the right one.
But if you look at that outcrop in Google Earth, the buildings along the SW corner of the park all line up correctly.
Hmm, maybe you’re right. How do I go from your link to seeing the buildings at Google Earth?
I think you can just cut the url from the Google Maps window in your browser and paste it into the “Fly To” box in Google Earth.
That may not be the exact outcrop, but it has to be close as those buildings are very distinctive and are near Columbus Circle at the very SW corner of the park.
I’ve downloaded Google Earth, and I think you’re right. The wonders of modern technology! Thanks. Anyone know if those rocks have an official name?
According to this, at least part of it is known as Umpire Rock.
Wasn’t there an early episode of SVU where the perp lived in a cave in that rock? At least, I think it was that rock. But as has been pointed out, there’s bunch of them. Are there really caves in Central Park?
