Park Gates
There are twenty gates into Central Park, and all of them have colorful names carved into the adjacent sandstone, names such as Strangers' Gate, Explorers' Gate, Hunters' Gate and here, Artists' Gate.
The names of these gates were the idea of the Park Commission at the time and they were instituted as a welcome to New Yorkers of various occupations and backgrounds. Other gates include Women?s Gate at W. 72nd St., Inventors' Gate at E. 72nd St., Engineers' Gate at E. 90th St. (where the New York Marathon enters the park every year for its last few miles), and Mariners' Gate at W. 85th St.
Standing guard in front of Artist's Gate youll see three statues of the great liberators of South America - Jose de San Martin, Simon Bolivar, Jose Julian Marti, a fitting position of honor for three great statesman at the head of the Avenue of the Americas.

An amazing experience! A relaxing day was spent cycling around central park, with taking in the beautiful scenery and checking out the famous land marks with the direction off the staff from the shop! The staff were friendly, enthusiastic and very accommodating which made the experience fun and worthwhile! An adventure not to be missed!!:)
Today I took the 2 hour 10am Central Park Bike Tour with a cool guide Bryan. He was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable about each place that we stopped along the way. The pace was comfortable without being rushed, and there was plenty of stops for photos during the tour. Even if you haven't ridden a bike for a while, the guide was careful to make sure that we were all comfortable before we started out, and the bikes were very easy to ride, even up the hills in the park. Riding in Central Park was in my top 5 things to do on my 10 day visit to NYC, and it totally lived up to all the expectations I had about it. I'm SO glad that I did this tour and would highly recommend it.
Biking Central Park was the highlight of our trip. The weather was perfect. We had a friendly and educated guide. You see most of the park and learn a lot of history in just two hours. Do not miss this tour!
