The Park's many popular destinations include the Picnic House overlooking the Long Meadow, the Carousel, the Lefferts Homestead Historic House Children's Museum, the Kate Wollman Center and Rink, the Boathouse located on the Lullwater, the Memorial Arch at Grand Army Plaza, the Nethermead, the Bandshell, and five playgrounds.
