The Ramble, Central Park, Uptown Manhattan. and , co-designers. 1857–73. Central Park, the only municipal park that is a national historic landmark, is the result of more than eighty years of planning and effort. Within 843 man-made acres, the 37-acre Ramble, a steep, well-wooded, rugged hillside, intersected by winding paths, succeeds, more than any other area in the park, in realising the intention of Olmsted, a pioneer in the new profession of “landscape architecture,” to take city dwellers out of their urban environment.

A couple beside the lake, the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 1000 Washington Avenue, opposite the eastern edge of Prospect Park, Middle Brooklyn. Takeo Shiota, designer. 1914. Probably the most celebrated feature of Brooklyn Botanic Garden is the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, emblematic of the Japanese talent for condensation. Created in one acre around the lake, it embodies aspects of four kinds of gardens – palace, tea cult, Shinto, and Buddhist temple. In the lake, shaped like the Chinese letter meaning “heart” (the centre of meditative calm) is a torii , or bird-perching gate, which marks the approach to a Shinto shrine on the rise beyond the Niwa , or landscape garden.
