Arsenal, Historic military building in Central Park, United States.
The brick structure features Gothic Revival details with half-octagonal towers, pointed arches, and crenellated parapets near Fifth Avenue and 64th Street.
Built between 1847 and 1851 as a storage facility for the New York State Militia, the Arsenal predates the construction of Central Park itself.
The Arsenal Gallery presents fine art exhibitions throughout the year, while the lobby displays 1930s Works Progress Administration murals depicting Central Park scenes.
The building houses the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation offices, public restrooms, and serves as Central Park's official visitor center.
The original Greensward Plan, which details the complete design of Central Park, remains stored on the third floor of the Arsenal.
