Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir is a large water reservoir situated in Central Park, Manhattan, New York City. The reservoir was constructed in 1862 and supplies NYC with more than 90 million gallons of drinking water each day. It is also a great spot for sightseeing and nature appreciation. The impressive views over the reservoir and its surroundings, including the skyline of Manhattan, make it a popular destination for visitors.
