<p>Looking at the Carousel, you can see the Brooklyn Bridge in the background.<br/></p>
<p>Looking north: the Carousel sits on a large stone plaza.<br/></p>
<p>Lots of new benches are scattered around the park; they appear to be made of the same recycled wood from the Cold Storage Warehouse as the other benches further south in the park.<br/></p>
<p>A large monument in honor of Jane Walentas.<br/></p>
<p>The horses are all meticulously preserved. Check out the glass eyes. <br/></p>
<p>There are two chariots for those too large or small or fit on the horses. <br/></p>
<p>Some rules: No gum or balloons. No riding side-saddle. No riders larger that 225 lbs allowed on the moving horses. <br/></p>
<p>Another view of the horses.<br/></p>
<p>The glass is slightly warped to give a fun distortion of the view. Check out the way it bends the light on the left.<br/></p>
<p>The enclosure has a trippy ceiling.<br/></p>
