Enter at 81st Street, head southeast, and the stairway is at around 80th St. Walk up and there's a delightful terrace that, in the summertime, has fountains for kids to play in.
This statue at the entrance of Central Park at Columbus Circle embodies the iconic and epic nature of this part of town. Also includes a nice seating area along the base.
