NYC – Central Park: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

The Reservoir, officially named the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir in 1994, covers a large area of Central Park from east to west and from 86th Street to 96th Street, was constructed between 1858 and 1862. It is probably best known for the 1.58 mile track surrounding it, where thousands of runners tone up every day.

The 106-acre water body is 40 feet deep and holds over a billion gallons of water. It is still under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. Although it no longer distributes fresh water to Manhattan residents, its overflow is critical for providing fresh water to the Pool, Loch, and Harlem Meer — the series of connecting water bodies in the northern part of the Park.

The unsightly seven-foot chain-link fence surrounding the Reservoir, which was erected in 1926, obscured joggers’ and pedestrians’ views of the magnificent Manhattan skyline. In 2003, the Conservancy completed the installation of a new Reservoir fence, made of steel with cast-iron ornamentation, closely resembling the original historic fence that was in place from 1864 to 1926. The new four-foot-high fence, installed on the existing eight-inch granite coping stone, has opened up breathtaking views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.

Birds perch themselves along low stone wall passing between the two fortress-like stone gatehouses, which enables one section to be isolated from the other for maintenance purposes.

Central Park was designated a scenic landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1974.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir (#2)

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir (#2).

The Reservoir was built between 1858 and 1862, to the design for Central Park of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux,[1] who designed its two pumphouses of Manhattan schist with granite facings. It was never a collecting reservoir; it was used to receive water from the Croton Aqueduct and distribute it to Manhattan.[6] After 131 years of service, it was decommissioned in 1993, after it was deemed obsolete because of a new main under 79th Street that connected with the Third Water Tunnel and because of growing concerns that it could become contaminated.[7] It was renamed in honor of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1994 to commemorate her contributions to the city, because she enjoyed jogging in the area,[8] which lay beneath the windows of her Fifth Avenue apartment.
