Boulder Bridge

40.68465,-73.8919

This bridge was designed by William J. Zartmann and built in 1901 as a feature of the original Highland Park. It initially was part of a road that connected Highland Boulevard with a winding road that went around the back of the park. It carried the road over a walkway from the western part of the park through a natural glen into the woods on the other side. While the glen may have contained a pond, historic photos do not show the bridge crossing any kind of body of water, although water may drain under this bridge during heavy rains.
