Description

Cop Cot is one of the older structures in Central Park; it is a reproduction of one of the original wooden shelters that were common in the park in the late 1860s. The reproduction was built in 1985 thanks to a donation by Mae and Lawrence A. Wien. This structure is the largest remaining wooden shelter � there are two others in the park.

Cop Cot is constructed of rustic dark wood that is reminiscent of the mountains in upstate New York. The interior benches are made of red cedar harvested locally. During construction, the natural appearance of the tree branches was preserved to enhance the location's charm. Built on a rock outcropping under a canopy of trees above the park's Center Drive, this location is peaceful and secluded. The structure is a rough hexagon that is light and airy, with an attractive roof made of dark wood arranged in concentric circles. The structure provides some protection from the elements and is a good lunch spot on dreary days. The gray and slate rocks at Cop Cot provide a rich contrast to the green trees and grass.
