Summary
Completed in 1895, Morningside Park is a masterpiece of landscape architecture by Central Park’s team of Olmsted & Vaux, celebrating a dramatic glacial bluff that resisted Manhattan’s street grid. With scenic overlooks and meandering paths along Harlem Valley, the park embodies a striking contrast between urban and natural beauty. It has witnessed neglect and conflict, from the Revolutionary War to the Civil Rights Movement, and faced an explosive Columbia University gym proposal.
Today, NYC Parks and a 44-year partnership with Friends of Morningside Park are leading a remarkable revitalization. Improved access routes, shepherded by Council Member Shaun Abreu, and a waterfall & pond restoration, supported by Columbia University, are underway.
Please join us to reflect and learn about this important NYC icon and beloved community home.
