The JKO Reservoir covers and holds over of water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Central Park Reservoir - CentralPark.com )〕 Though no longer used to distribute New York City's water supply, it provides water for the Pool〔The Pool is in a hollow at 103rd Street near Central Park West; its outflow feeds the Meer.〕 and the Harlem Meer. It is a popular place of interest; there is a 〔(Mileage given as 1.58 )〕 jogging track around it and it is also encircled by the park's bridle trail. It is often visited by tourists, especially when its double pink "Yoshino" cherries (''Prunus x yedoensis''),〔Some of the oldest trees remain from the original gift from the government of Japan in 1912; the earliest plantings of ''Prunus x yedoensis'' in the US were made in 1902.〕 followed by ''Prunus serrulata'' 'Kanzan' cherries, are blooming. The rhododendrons along the "Rhusododendron Mile" were a gift to the city from Mrs Russell Sage, in 1909. It is one of the main ecological sanctuaries in the park, housing more than 20 species of waterbirds: aside from the familiar mallards and Canada geese, there may also be seen coots, mergansers, northern shovelers, ruddy ducks, buffleheads, loons, cormorants, wood ducks, American black ducks, gadwall, grebes, herons and egrets, along with various species of gulls, making it a popular venue for birdwatchers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Reservoir in Central Park )〕
