Answer from two weeks ago:

West 75th Street Boat Landing: When the park was originally designed, the area now known as The Lake was set up to be flooded in the winter and used for ice skating. Boating in this area was an afterthought. Originally there were 12 passenger call boats that would stop at six different boat landings, so that passengers could get out and explore different areas of the park. The boat landing pictured is located near the Ladies Pavillon. All of the landings are being renovated and restored to their original beauty.
