Offering great views of both the Central Park Lake and woods is Bethesda Terrace. The terrace was one of the very first structures to have been built in Central Park; its construction began in 1859. . Under the terrace you will find the Arcade, an arched, interior walkway, its a great place for people-watching. Couples come to have their wedding photos shot here, models make the most of the deco for their photoshoot. This girl had all the poses of Marilyn.
