Tour 1 on Friday, June 16 at 4pm—repeated on June 23— 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. 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. We will also learn about current progress underway in Wagner Park, as part of the developing Resilience Action Plan of the BPC Authority.
