The Official Website of Central Park - Urns for All Seasons:

 "Spring and summer may be prime time for blooms in Central Park but, if you know where to look, you can catch gorgeous horticultural displays all year long. Among the most reliable spots to see some of the Park's most brilliant plantings are the large urns along Bow Bridge, at Bethesda Terrace and the Bandshell, at the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center and along the Broadway Mall, south of Central Park. These urns are planted seasonally and remain vibrant even through the chill of winter."

"Named for the Italian meaning 'beautiful view,' Central Park's Belvedere Castle offers park goers exactly what its name implies.

Sitting high on top of Vista Rock, the second highest natural elevation in the park, the castle is located mid-park at 79th Street. And with its two balconies, it supplies wonderful panoramic views that include some of Central Park's most beautiful and famous landmarks: the Delacorte Theater, the Great Lawn, the Turtle Pond and the Ramble."
