Gapstow Bridge, Granite footbridge in Central Park, Manhattan, US.
The curved stone bridge spans over a narrow section of the Pond, providing views of Central Park South's skyline and the Hallett Nature Sanctuary.
Built in 1896 by Howard & Caudwell, this granite structure replaced an earlier bridge with cast-iron elements designed by Jacob Wrey Mould in 1874.
The stone bridge functions as part of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's network of paths that connect different areas of Central Park.
Visitors can access the bridge from East Side at 62nd Street, with nearby attractions including Wollman Rink and the Pond's wildlife observation points.
During winter months, the granite structure accumulates snow patterns while providing a contrast between Manhattan's urban architecture and park landscapes.
