Reservations for the public open on June 1. Skyscraper Museum members may register now by emailing programs@skyscraper.org. Tickets for remaining spaces will be open to the public on June 1st at 12pm. See below for more info. Become a member here.
The tour explores Battery Park City's southern district, which is home to the Skyscraper Museum and includes some of BPC's earliest landscapes and infrastructure, as well as the residential enclaves built in the 1990s that followed the 1979 Cooper Eckstut Master Plan. We will visit historic Pier A and South Cove, as well as the green spaces that connect to the Esplanade, the first waterfront park in New York since the Brooklyn Heights Esplanade in 1951, and learn about the developing Resilience Action Plan of BPCA, which has led to the temporary closure of Wagner Park.
This tour will meet at The Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl.
Registration for each tour is limited to 50 people. Confirmation emails will be sent 2 days before the event and must be confirmed by 24 hours before the event, or the reservation will be cancelled. Any updates for bad-weather cancellations will be sent to your email address.
