"The Cop Cot is an often overlooked, almost always quiet escape from the busy pathways around Wollman Rink and the Pond, and the even busier streets of midtown just steps away. I'm always surprised at how few people are relaxing up here compared to how many people are walking around the south end of the Park. Because of its seclusion and natural design, it's often referred to as one of the most romantic spots in the Park.
Cop Cot (meaning little cottage on top of a hill in Scottish) is a great example of why we love the Central Park Conservancy. When they took over the Park in 1980, one of their missions was to restore a lot of the structures and elements that had been lost or destroyed since Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted created the Park in 1858. Cop Cot is one of those places. Built in 1984, after it was demolished in the 1950s, it gives us a glimpse of what the Park looked and felt like when it was first created.
Come here if you're looking for a place to relax. Skip it if you're looking for major highlights.
Time: As long as you need to de-stress."
