North Woods and North Meadow

 * ALT1:... that North Woods in New York City's Central Park contains a bridge (pictured) made of boulders, some weighing nearly 100 ST, which are held up entirely by gravity? Source: Central Park Conservancy

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Detailed article on plenty of sources, no copyvio obvious. Striking the original as too general, I also hesitate about the other, finding both the loss of trees in 2009 and the only natural stream more attractive, but as you like it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:41, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I don't think the loss of trees in 2009 is exclusive to the North Woods, and Central Park has few watercourses to begin with, so that's why I didn't initially nominate these. I have added an image to go along with ALT1. Could you quickly check that this meets the criteria? Thanks again. epicgenius (talk) 15:10, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
