Walking Tour: Battery Park City South Neighborhood

This walking tour will explore Battery Park City’s southern district, which is home to the Skyscraper Museum and includes some of BPC’s earliest landscapes and infrastructure, including the residential enclaves built in the 1990s that followed the 1979 Cooper Eckstut Master Plan. Starting in the Museum’s gallery to see historic views of the waterfront, the tour will visit South Cove and the green spaces that connect to the Esplanade, the first waterfront park in New York since the Brooklyn Heights Esplanade in 1951. We will also learn about current construction underway in Wagner Park, as part of the developing Resilience Action Plan of the BPC Authority. The tour will be repeated on June 21.  Our Walking Tours are free!

This tour will meet at The Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl. Reservation priority is given to Skyscraper Museum Members and to Corporate Members and their employees. Members can register by emailing programs@skyscraper.org. Registration for each tour is limited to 25 people.
