The Central Park Conservancy offers a wide variety of Recreation Programs based out of the North Meadow Recreation Center, located mid-Park at 97th Street. The Center provides a safe, outdoor setting where people of all ages can play sports, participate in clinics and take part in healthful activities throughout the year.

Recreation Programs are supported in part by The Sherman Fairchild Foundation, Metzger-Price Fund and participants in our 3-on-3 Corporate Basketball Challenge.
