May 21: Alumni Tour Central Park with Central Park Conservancy
May 21, 2010
Date: Friday, May 21
Time: 4-6 p.m.
Location: Fifth Avenue and 72nd Street
Cost: $25 for tour and wine
Central Park is one of the urban wonders of the world, a green oasis in the great concrete, high-rise landscape of New York City. It is so naturally part of the Manhattan environment that many people may not realize it is entirely man-made. Discover the Park's history, ecology, and design on a walking tour with the Central Park Conservancy. The Cross-Park Promenade tour, led by an experienced, knowledgeable guide, will last about one to one and a half hours. You will see many surprises: a hidden bench that tells time, miniature boats powered by the wind, and a magnificent sculpture celebrating fresh water. These are just some of the sites on this east-to-west walk through the Park.
Wine will be served after the tour. For more information about the Central Park Conservancy, please visit www.centralparknyc.org.
Please Note: The Central Park Walking Tour occurring in June for alumni celebrating Reunion 2010 is a separate tour.
