New York City scenic landmarks

The scenic landmarks include public parks, plazas, and parkways operated by the New York City government.

The first landmark to be designated was Central Park in Manhattan, while the most recent (as of 2024[update]) is Aqueduct Walk in the Bronx.

In 1973, mayor John Lindsay signed legislation that allowed the LPC to designate sites as scenic and interior landmarks.

[13] The LPC approved two additional scenic landmarks in Manhattan that year—Grand Army Plaza on July 23[14] and Bryant Park on November 12.

[31] On April 16, 2024, Aqueduct Walk was designated as the first official scenic landmark in the borough of the Bronx.
