Photographs and text by Stephen Harmon
The official start of Fall is September 22nd, and everything will still be very green. In fact, it will still look very much like summer. Perhaps three to five weeks later, maybe a little more, Central Park will be magically filled with magnificent color. These photos are just a reminder of what’s to come and how lucky UWSers are to live so near the park and be able to enjoy its beauty. I hope you find something to enjoy.

These are gorgeous, mouth-watering photos! I can hardly wait for the colors to start arriving this year even if they are late. This park is so important to me and to many other New Yorkers!
LOVE the photos. Thank you.
Make that “how lucky Upper West Siders are to live BETWEEN two parks”. I thank my lucky stars every day that I have Riverside Park for what feels like my own back yard. At 6:00 a.m. — my favorite hour — it’s a dewy, serene beauty and you can count the people on one hand.
I like Central Park too 🙂
My favorite season, full of magical colors!
Yikes – Fall Season already – September 22nd.
Fantastic photos. Thanks.
Tell the kids to leave the thrift shops alone for people who NEED to shop @ them.
These photos are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome back to Steve Harmon! You are so special, and I’ve missed your presence on WSR. Gorgeous photos.
Gorgeous!
Incredible pictures!
You never fail to brighten our lives, A
Fall is definitely the most beautiful season. Sadly it always seems to go by so quickly!
These photos are top notch the essence of Central Park in the fall on full display.
Breathtaking photos! Such brilliant colors, and oh the gentle light of fall. Love the close-up portrait of the adorable squirrel, too!❤️
THANK YOU for this reminder of why we love New York.
And this is why my husband and I have no desire to travel ‘north’ for the changing fall colors when Central Park is magnificent and two blocks away from home.
a very nice feature of WSR during the autumn would be to repeat here the Central Park Foliage Tracker info for WSR readers.
