Description
Designed by Calvert Vaux, Oak Bridge was constructed in 1860 across a narrow arm of the Central Park Lake at its northernmost tip to provide a connection from the path along the West Drive into the Ramble. Also referred to as Bank Rock Bridge, it was one of the larger and more elegant of the Park's wooden bridges, constructed of carved white oak with panels of decorative cast iron set in the railings and a deck of yellow pine.
