Here's the description from "A Climber's Guide to Popular Manhattan
Boulder Problems" --

"Rat Rock is located in Central Park at the 62nd Street level adjacent to
the Heckscher Children's Playground. Easiest access is from either
Columbus Circle entrance or the Central Park West entrance at 62nd Street.
Immediately north of the Heckscher playground and south of the Heckscher
softball fields, walk to the north or east side of the large rock
formation. Though officially labeled Umpire Rock by the City Parks &
Recreation Dept., the climbers that come here have named it for its
smaller and more
permanent residents."
