This part of Central Park has been closed off to the public since the 1930s and it was just recently re-opened. It's a bit of a sanctuary for birds, and other greenery and wildlife that have been able to stay isolated from the rest of NYC for the past 85 years or so. It's far south in the park, which is the part most people visit so that's convenient if you're visiting Central Park. It still has limited open hours so check online for teh hours before you go.

You can get tickets to go inside of the pedestal that the status is standing on, and those tickets you don't need to get as early as the statue tickets, but I'm not sure it's really worth it.
