Central Park Model Boat Sailing, New York NY

It doesn't exist anymore. Dont waste your time. Apparently they havent opened since the pandemic

Unfortunately the rental boats SHUT DOWN and not reopened. Confirmed in person on July 7 2023.

My favorit spot in CP, beautiful location! Recommend Saturdays when there is sailboats.
Really a shame that the staff is so uninterested in service and guests.
I would love it if they at least looked at you as you order.
So bring a friend and enjoy your own company.

A lake where you will occasionally see the boats, even if they are not there, it is worth it because it is calm and pleasant to be there. Here scenes from some movies like Stuart Little were recorded.

Central Park model boat sailing is such a unique and fun activity! It's amazing to see these intricate model boats sail across the pond, and the whole experience is truly charming. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the park, whether you're with family or friends. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and it's clear that they have a real passion for this hobby. I highly recommend giving it a try!

One of my favorite places in the world. A mother and son watch model sailboats at Conservatory Water at the small boat pond.
*the mother gave me permission to use these photos I took of them for this.

Grab a hot dog or a pretzel and go sit and watch the boats! Your little ones can run around and enjoy the races!

Even in the dead of winter, the Central Park pond remains a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the beauty of the park.

I didn't see any models in this part of the park. No print models or beautiful people walking down catwalks or hot people sipping martinis and looking for spots to shoot or snort drugs. I really liked this part of the park and I hope the models stay away with their vapid chatter and creepy gaits.

First time visiting and using maps discovered this was the sailing model sailing boat location. Of course! No boats for sailing when we got there. Then some intrepid sailor Central Park sailor for his boat or rented a boat. I'm not sure which. I think he brought his own but and said it sailing. Very nice day. Weather was fine and watching the boat was fascinating. Highly recommended

So the website makes no mention of being closed (with hours still listed), but you arrive to find it closed and when you call their number they state they’re closed “…due to COVID 19…”. Maybe they can’t hire employees? Their website’s no longer an active link either, so maybe it’s another victim of the pandemic. Either way, disappointing and a much missed aspect of Central Park.

New York City.the city that has so much to see it's hard to know where to start. But Central Park is a must for all visitors to this city! Recreation in the middle of this big city is absolute madness.
Tip: definitely take a carriage ride and/or tandem ride!

A very nice place has a price lake where you can enjoy remote control boat racing nice experience

Be careful they would not hesitate to ripp you off we went over the time by not even 3 minutes and they took us 5 dollars, we complained and nothing was changed

It has amazing skyscrapers’ view and nature view! Enjoy! It’s one of my favorite places in central park! Take a drink!

Loved this part of the park. Had a great time with the owner of the Starblazers Yamato RC.

It's a great place to hang out and watch the people go by. Say hello to the ducks and listen to Chase Steele Greye sing. ENJOY

Although I didn't go in, it looks very pretty from afar and adds a great touch to the body of water
