7 Stop 7 of 10 on Central Park Is a Lie

Summit Rock & Shakespeare Garden

A Preview

"Summit Rock. You're standing on the highest natural point in all of Central Park — a hundred and forty-one feet above sea level. This rock is the same Manhattan schist as Vista Rock. Formed at the bottom of an ancient ocean roughly four hundred and fifty million years ago, when continents collided and pushed seafloor mud into mountains."
