Hidden Highlights of the North End Tour
Lace up your comfortable walking shoes for an energetic hike through Central Park’s north end!
This tour offers a comprehensive introduction to the north end of Central Park, beginning at the Dana Discovery Center, nestled at the edge of the Harlem Meer. From there, journey to the Davis Center, the Park’s new facility for learning, discovery, and community connection. The center also invites you to explore the Park beyond its walls—into a carefully designed, human-made landscape that evokes the natural beauty of New York while occupying a historic area shaped by thousands of years of human activity. Architectural features such as bridges, plazas, and recreational spaces complement the north end’s organic design, while also connecting the Park to the surrounding community.
