May Secrets of Central Park

The number of the day is…843. That's how many acres Central Park is! On this walk, we'll follow in the footsteps of Jim Henson and check out locations made famous by Sesame Street or the Muppets, including Belvedere Castle and Cherry Hill.

This walk explores Central Park’s Lake through a selection of archival images, revealing how it has evolved over time. Participants will view historic photographs and illustrations while learning about the Lake’s design, history, and role in shaping the Park experience, past and present.

In May 2016, the Hallett Nature Sanctuary officially opened with regular access to the public, after being closed off for over 60 years. To celebrate our smallest woodland, join us in a quiet walk observing the many details of the Hallett's magnificent restoration and our Natural Areas team's ongoing care.

Summer is almost upon us, so it's time to pack some snacks and a picnic blanket and hit the lawn! Relax and take in the sights and sounds of the Park as we enjoy a picnic in the meadow with one of the Conservancy’s expert guides.
