Harlem Meer

The Harlem Meer is a body of water located in the northeast corner of Central Park. The word “Meer” is the Dutch word for “small sea” which reflects back on the area’s past when it once was part of the Dutch village of Harlem. This area is very popular with families who enjoy fishing, skating and swimming (at the Harlem Meer Center). It’s also a great spot to relax and enjoy all that the natural beauty the area has to offer.
