Is there handicap parking at Bronx zoo?
There really isn't any parking at all at the Central Park Conservatory. The Central Park Conservatory is a part of Central Park, and Central Park is surrounded by city streets. It doesn't have a parking lot or anything like that. If you can find a parking space, then you can park on the street outside the entrance to the Conservatory (which would be 5th Avenue at 105th Street), but there is no reserved parking for people going to the Conservatory.
I was able to find a list of parking garages around Central Park, but most of them are relatively far away. The closest one I could find was on 94th Street between 3rd and 2nd Avenues. That is about a mile away from the entrance to the Conservatory.
See the Related Links below for more information. The first link shows you a picture of Vanderbilt Gate, which is the only street entrance to the Central Park Conservatory. As you can see, you enter directly off the street.
The second link is from the Central Park website. It describes the Conservatory Garden, and if you click the little button on top that says "Map It," it will show you where the Conservatory is in the park.
The third link is to the list of parking garages, just in case you want to use one of them.
