Weekly Walks

Join us every Wednesday for a short virtual stroll through Central Park.
Central Park has proven to be an invaluable resource for New Yorkers during this challenging time. Its 843 acres are a sanctuary in which to relax and enjoy the fresh air. However, we at the Central Park Conservancy know there are millions of people who can’t access the Park during this time of social distancing — so we’re bringing its sweeping views and stunning vistas, sublime natural wonders and thriving wildlife to you.
Our popular Weekly Walks are now a series! This means you only have to register once to access our weekly virtual strolls through Central Park that showcase some of the flowers and trees currently in bloom, share Park history, and give you a much-needed mid-week recharge.
This FREE Zoom series takes place every Wednesday at 12:30 pm EST. Once you’re registered, you'll receive a confirmation email and weekly reminders with a link to access all Weekly Walks going forward. You can also catch the walks on-demand via the Conservancy's YouTube channel.
