Explore the South Neighborhood’s early parks, infrastructure, and waterfront resilience.
The South Neighborhood 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 Wagner Park, which was recently redeveloped as part of the Resilience Action Plan of the BPC Authority.
This tour will meet in The Skyscraper Museum at 39 Battery Place. Registration for each tour is limited to 25 people. Any updates for bad-weather cancellations will be sent to your email address.
Walking tours are free! Programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
