How to get there

This image was taken in Central Park above the Wollman Rink with a view of the 5th Avenue skyline in the background. Reference the GPS coordinate. I stood facing southeast on the walking path to get an elevated view of the rink and 5th Avenue.
By Subway:
- Closest Station: 5 Ave Station (N, W, R trains)
- Head northeast on 5th Ave toward 61st St
- Turn left at E 61st St
- Turn right onto East Dr
- Follow East Drive toward Wollman Rink
- Keep left as your approach the ice rink
Confirm that the ice rink is open! Since I stood above the ice rink, you don't need to pay an entrance fee, but if you want the rink in the background, you'll have to make sure that it's open. For more information, go here:
