The Tours
August 31, September 14 and 28: Central Park — Nature & Design
START TIME 10 a.m. This is a 2-hour tour.
Meet on northeast corner (statue of Simon Bolivar) of 59th St. & Sixth Avenue
The philosophic ideal of Nature and an emerging sense of a thoroughly American approach to Design provided the foundations for the original conception and creation of Central Park. Yet the succeeding 150 years have seen tremendous changes both to the Park itself and to the way in which New Yorkers view Vaux and Olmsted's masterpiece. Walk with us on a two-hour tour through the heart of the Park where we will attempt to see some of its original beauty and visit its major attractions.
