People Parks and Possibilities

Did you know that Central Park and Prospect Park were designed? Trees, land, and lakes were all part of a plan. Explore the story of America’s first and most influential park designer, Frederick Law Olmsted. In this family program, we’ll read Parks for the People by children's author Elizabeth Partridge to see how Olmsted created peaceful and inclusive nature spaces. After story time, young park planners will design their own ideal public park in celebration of International Day of Friendship!

This is an in-person children’s program that meets at the Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl.

You must reserve a place for your child/family by clicking the “Get Tickets” button above. After registering, you will receive emails to confirm your attendance through a Google Form (you only need to fill this out once). If you do not confirm attendance by the Friday morning before the program, your places will be canceled. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Family programs are free! Reservation priority is given to The Skyscraper Museum members. Want to become a member? Spring programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
