Explore the South End
Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the designers of Central Park, created a park for the people, a space for all New Yorkers to escape from the hustle and bustle of New York City. Although Central Park was designed over 160 years ago, it still serves as an escape and the south end has something for everyone.
On this tour, visit some of the Park’s most iconic sites, including Sheep Meadow, Bethesda Terrace, and the iconic Dairy. You’ll learn about the history of Central Park and marvel at how the Park’s designers crafted this urban oasis out of hilly, swampy ground.
