Somewhat hidden and rarely used, the Inscope Arch is a beautiful structure to admire and a main highlight of the arches of Central Park.
Located on a short obscure path east of the Pond, the underpass of this ornamental arch is generally dark and usually flooded after a heavy rain.
Once you’ve walked through the underpass you will notice a short flight of stairs on the east side that connects pedestrians to Wien Walk with the Wildlife Center in view.
