Battery Park City North Neighborhood Walking Tour
The third of the Museum’s three thematic walking tours of Battery Park City, on Thursday, August 3 at 4 p.m., will cover the north residential neighborhood, which was developed in several phases, beginning with Stuyvesant High School at the northeast edge and the esplanade and Rockefeller Park along the Hudson. A diagonal avenue lined with apartment buildings creates one face of the neighborhood, while the inner courts of the large blocks are connected by the delightful Teardrop Park. Located two blocks from ground zero, we will also explore the history and design of the Irish Hunger Memorial completed in 2001. Tour 3 will be repeated on August 11 at 4 pm.
This tour meets at the Winter Garden at Brookfield Place. Walking Tours are free! Programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority. Reservation priority is given to Skyscraper Museum Members and to Corporate Members and their employees. Members can register by emailing [email protected] before the sign-up for Tour 3 opens to the general public on July 24th. Non-members can register for Tour 3 on a space-available basis.
