This Weekend in Parks
Autumn in Central Park.
The parks are never lovelier than in autumn, when leaves start turning gold and red. Join the Urban Park Rangers of some of the best sites or head out for an exploration of your own.
This Sunday, celebrate a day of art, music, history, and family fun at some of the historic and cultural centers of northern Manhattan! Ten cultural sites, four of them in parks, are holding events all day long, including treasure hunts, concerts, tours, and art workshops. Visit www.nyc.gov/parks for more information.
