Morningside Park, Public park between Morningside Heights and Harlem, Manhattan, US
The 30-acre park contains a cliff made of Manhattan schist, stone outcroppings, several athletic fields, playgrounds, and a human-made ornamental pond.
The land was originally known as Muscota by the Lenape Native Americans until Central Park commissioners proposed a park in this location in 1867.
The park features three notable sculptures: Lafayette and Washington, Carl Schurz Monument, and Seligman Fountain, installed after its completion in 1895.
The park stretches from 110th Street to 123rd Street, with Morningside Avenue to the east and Morningside Drive forming the western boundary.
A natural cliff separates two distinct elevations, creating over 100 feet of height difference between Morningside Heights and the Harlem lowlands.
