Northern Central Park Tree Tour

Tuesday, October 27 at 9 a.m.
Bus departs from Island Beach parking lot

The Greenwich Tree Conservancy invites you to join us for a tour of northern Central Park. While Central Park is one of the most visited public parks in the nation, many visitors rarely venture beyond its iconic southern end. This tour will explore the history and hidden beauty of the park’s northern reaches, with a special focus on its remarkable urban forest and the diverse trees that thrive within it.

The tour also includes a visit to the Davis Center at the Harlem Meer, an innovative year-round recreational hub featuring a seasonal pool, rink, and green space integrated into a
glass-and-stone pavilion built underneath the landscape. It unifies architecture and landscape with a new waterfront boardwalk and outdoor room. This award-winning, LEED Gold certified building is the Central Park Conservancy’s newest and largest project to date.

For more than 150 years, Central Park has provided an extraordinary oasis of nature in the heart of one of the world’s busiest cities. Autumn is an especially beautiful time to experience
the park, when its trees take center stage in a spectacular display of fall color.
