Strawberry Fields, John Lennon Memorial - Photo stop.
Strawberry Fields is a memorial to the British rock musician and peace activist John Lennon (1940–1980). It also includes the Imagine mosaic, where many come to pay tribute to Lennon. The memorial’s name is a reference to the 1967 song Lennon wrote and performed with the Beatles, “Strawberry Fields Forever.” -
Bethesda Fountain - Photo stop, exploring.
Bethesda is a large plaza consisting of two levels as well as an Arcade and a Fountain.
The Terrace is a popular destination for relaxing, people-watching, and admiring the architecture and the scenery. At the center of the Terrace stands Bethesda Fountain, also known as Angel of the Waters, one of the Park’s most beloved works of art. - Bow Bridge - Bow Bridge got its name because of its low-lying and graceful curve that resembles the bow of an archer or violinist. It is a prominent spot that offers expansive views of the Lake and surrounding landscapes. It’s one of the most photographed Park features and one of the most romantic, serving as the site of numerous wedding proposals.
- Gapstow Bridge - Also known as ‘Home Alone’ bridge, it’s a popular spot for enjoying an overview of scenery and taking photographs.
