Thank you for registering for the Central Park tour with Catherine Fredman on June 8. It has come to our attention that there will be a large race in Central Park on June 8 that will disrupt our planned itinerary. We've decided to move the walk to the North Woods. The walk date and time will remain the same, but our new meeting location will be the Charles Dana Discovery Center, on the North Shore of the Harlem Meer, inside the Park at 110th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard. (Take the B/C to 110th or the 2/3 to 110th and Central Park North.)

Thank you for understanding, and hope you enjoy the tour of the North Woods.

This custom tour, “Central Park's Greatest Hits: The Heart of the Park,” given by an experienced former Central Park Conservancy guide, will highlight some of the iconic sites and sights in Central Park, including the Model Boat Pond, the Alice in Wonderland statue, the Lake, Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, and Strawberry Fields. We'll discuss the history of our country’s first purpose-built public park and how it continues to evolve today.

The tour will start at the Samuel Morse statue, just inside the entrance at Fifth Avenue and 72nd Street, and will conclude at Strawberry Fields, at 72nd Street and Central Park West. There are some stairs, but they can be avoided. The tour will take between ninety minutes and two hours, depending on the number of questions asked. Questions are encouraged!
