7th Class, Tuesday June 28th, 8AM Meet at the Ladies Pavilion which is on the north end of The Lake in Central Park. The Ladies Pavilion is the name of the gazebo which is near a rock outcropping known as the Hernshead. How to get there: when you walk along the west end of the lake from the southern end (near 72nd Street and Strawberry Fields) you'll see a gazebo looking east with a beautiful view of Bow Bridge. Continue walking north almost toward the end of the lake and you'll see another gazebo. Here you'll see an outcropping rock on a peninsula and probably people gathered there. Continue up a bit and you'll find a trail that leads to the Ladies Pavilion. Paint around the pavilion rather than underneath. Click here for photo of Ladies Pavilion.
