Join OHNY for a 4-mile run through Central Park, culminating in a visit to the Center at the Harlem Meer, a new environment on the site of the Lasker Rink and Pool. The project is designed to re-establish the north end of the Park as a vital resource for the surrounding community. When complete, the fully accessible Center at the Harlem Meer will offer new and enhanced outdoor activities and provide unhindered access across the north end of the Park. Our tour will be joined by representatives from the project’s design team, including Chapter Agency Founder John Gendall, leaders of Central Park Conservancy, and reps from Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture Design. Please note: this is a running tour. We will run 4 miles of Central Park before arriving at the Center at the Harlem Meer.
