Скачать или смотреть Then & Now: Cop Cot

In a city filled with concrete, glass, and steel, it’s a welcome surprise to discover handcrafted rustic benches, bridges, and pergolas in Central Park. Rustic architecture has been an instrumental part of the Park’s design since its creation in 1858, and that tradition continues today.

However, rustic structures require constant upkeep and restoration. For this reason, most of the Park’s original structures disappeared by the 1950s.

After the #CentralParkConservancy was formed in 1980, our team focused on rebuilding many lost rustic structures in the Park—such as Cop Cot—while preserving the scenic character of the surrounding landscapes.

Thanks to the Park’s community as well as our staff, we continue to create original, intricate pieces and renovate existing structures today. With the help of rustic architecture, visitors can experience a natural respite from the City while admiring beautiful, handcrafted pieces of history. #TheParkNeedsUs

The mission of the Central Park Conservancy is to preserve and celebrate Central Park as a sanctuary from the pace and pressures of city life, enhancing the enjoyment and wellbeing of all.
