Oops! My narration is mistaken. I say that this arch is Glen Span but it's Springbanks. I got confused and mixed the two up, because I read that Springbanks was hard to find. Actually -- it's quite easy. Also, my narrated details are incorrect. Here are the facts (from "Greensward Foundation"): "ts semicircular arch is segmented with rough stone from the Hudson River Valley. Narrow, long, but with little headroom, the archway measures 17 feet 5 inches across, 9 feet 2 inches high and 71 feet long. Red brick lines the passage. A modified entablature follows the shape of the arch at the center and extends outward along the revetments that curve at right angles into the soil. The abutments are covered with soil and planting. A cast-iron railing on the south side is 50 feet 8 inches long." Central Park above 96th street isn't as heavily "trafficked" as the southern part. The section called the North Woods is 90 acres of woodland (deciduous forest) right in the heart of New York City. For some reason Springbanks is called hard to find. I didn't find hard to find at all. Just walk up the path that cuts through the playing fields above 96th street and you'll find it. Keep walking on that path & you'll be in the woods. The path leads straight to Huddlestone and the Lasker rink. Glen Span, my favorite arch, is on the way, to the west (left) as you walk north. You can't miss that; it's 18 feet high and very distinctive. But you have to look out for Glen Span. There was a guy ...
