The Ramble
The Ramble is one of two forested areas, along with The North Woods,
of rough terrain in the park - an almost surreal oasis within the context
of this most urban of cities. The Ramble is located in the center of
the park and it is almost possible to imagine yourself in some rural area
while walking in the Ramble, except when the distant noises of the city
occasionally bring you back to reality.
There is also the aura of menace while walking in such an isolated
area in late evening or early morning. Since the 1970's, the Ramble
has been known as a prime pick-up spot for gay men seeking casual
relationships.
The Ramble includes The Gil, an artificial stream fed from
the reservoir that empties into The Lake, on the southern boundary
of The Ramble.
