"CENTRAL PARK — THE BIG BACK YARD OF THE CITY"

Fast-growing, business-oriented New York City had largely ignored quality of life issues for its citizens. By the middle of the 19th century, this omission had become so apparent that the city government arranged a competition for the design and creation of a great park. The winning design of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux transformed 843 acres into an educational, recreational, and horticultural marvel.

Highlights include:

·  The Arsenal, which pre-dates the Park

·  Bethesda Fountain and Angel of the Waters

·  The Mall and its literary figures

·  The impact of Central Park on the nation at large

·  The Metropolitan Museum of Art mistake

The tour begins at the statue of General Sherman, 59th St. and Fifth Avenue.

$30/ticket. Weekend minimum of 7 attendeees — invite a neighbor, friend or family member!
