I thought it was the whole park for a second and almost had a heart attack
that would be so cheap for the whole park lol
Some of these features appear to be high maintenance that may not age well. Why not improvements that emphasize nature rather than artificiality?
They dont care about spending tax payer money on upkeep
I find it interesting that the northern end of the park is being improved now that the Harlem neighborhood that borders it has been gentrified.
That’s how it works
geographically, the North end of the park is less visited as visitors do not go that far up.... I hear what you are saying but let's not be so cynical. Let's be thankful that park is being updated. ( if you look at the pictures it was well used for a long time by locals).
This renovation has nothing to do with gentrification, the pool is just 1 of dozens of attractions in the northern end of the park. The north end of the park is absolutely gorgeous: Conservatory Gardens is insane. The Harlem Meer is gorgeous with a boathouse and fishing. There are amazing playgrounds and ballfields. The old pool was not some eyesore, it was an absolutely monster sized one-of-a-kind pool, a crown jewel constructed 75 years ago. It was insanely popular and crowded. The pool house and locker situation was outdated by today's standards and I'm optimistic the new renovation will be nice.
idek, Central Park was extended to north to Harlem, but i do remember the train station in Harlem called "Central Park North 110th"
I live in the neighborhood (114) and yes there is some gentrification, but half of this section is NYCHA housing + a lot of low income housing. This plan will greatly benefit people of all financial backgrounds. If anything, Harlem gentrification is further west and further North. I mean Whole Foods + Trader Joes + Target (gentrification icons) are all on 125th, 15 streets North of here. As a regular commuter through the park (bike/walk), I cannot wait for this dream to be realized.
By the way, "Meer" is the Dutch word for "lake". And, of course, Harlem comes from the Dutch city of Haarlem. So, basically, Haarlemmermeer...
Very nice and much needed redesign. But chain link fence? Seems so last century… 😂
The park has a kind of relaxin' vibe, even doe it's normally packed.
I love how the overt racism against the previous Harlem residents is never talked about......so the redo is being done now that the original residents have been priced out....smdh :(
Outstanding! Without a doubt, this is the greatest public park in the world! I am so proud that I took full advantage of every aspect of Central Park and it’s in my blood and DNA! Way to go Central park conservatory you are doing an outstanding job and all of the World thanks you!
how much of the world have you visited
looks awesome
Wonderful!
Can’t wait to see this as I live in West Harlem, gonna be great!
It's so depressing to think nothing like this could happen today. Corporate interests and profit margins reign supreme now.
Did you miss the part where this is actively being built, right now?
How about fix the crumbling walkways at the southern end of the park?
when will it b completed?
This spring
So beautiful!
I’m so deeply un surprised that the part of the park that touches Harlem was left in disrepair… very glad to see this beautification project.
I bet in a decade or less the pool/grass/ice rink conversions will be scrapped for being too expensive and time consuming.
Less. Do they know where they built this thing? The glass is going to be broken within a month.
It will get done. NYC can always find rich donors to get things done. Manhattan can always find money for things that are valued and Central Park is the crown jewel of their parks system.
Bryant Park does similar seasonal transformations with no problems.
Replacing a modernist intervention with another modernist intervention. Sad they didn’t create something in the style of the original park.
No air conditioning? Natural ventilation?
Whelp, it’s gonna be a sauna during the NYC summers 😭
it's a pool surrounded by trees. If you feel hot, jump in the pool or go rest under a tree.
The windows come from Luxembourg(Europe).
The access was not there for a reason.
Separation. Kept the park safe. Made the surrounding areas wealthy.
Just look at Chicago. Run to the ground and educated people are leaving
Same is happening in California and so on. 😢
Wow i guess NYC finally solved it housing crisis if they're going to waste money on the park
160 I had to rewind to make sure I heard it correctly....NYC is famous for overpriced things based on surrounding Real Estate ....so Bravo ❤ NYC
Looks great but the park will loose some awesome mid century architecture.
No mention of Senaca Village in this clip, or in this comment section. If you now, you know. If you don't...READ.
Great point. It would be nice if that history was recognized in this new project in some way.
Optimistic, perhaps. Time will tell. At the same time, I see room for many failures and emence running costs.
I love how americans think they invented large green spaces within cities.
Lol don't you love it 😂 now they care
Stupid design... Just made loads of work and maintenance as well as many ongoing costs.
Central Park is fine. NYC needs safe reliable transportation access to equal education no matter where the student lives and healthcare!!!
💚
Does the 160m include a block of cheddar cheese 🧀 🧀
Its going to be a bunch of Dominicans in that pool
See Ya Winter ❄️ Season
160 million is ridiculous. This is why the country is so poor.
Stop wasting our money.
If you actually watch the video, it says the vast majority was privately funded
So many negative people on these comment sections. Unhappy people will always be unhappy and try to spread their unhappiness. So sad.
its a shame they dont fully go back to nature and hand over the park to the native tribe they killed to get the park...
Big mistake connecting the park to Harlem.
It’ll be fine.
It always has been. Try to keep up. 😄
Build skyscrapers in whole Central park
Why didn't you show the before pictures of the area before the park was unwanted and placed on the land of indigenous Americans who was forced out of their homes to build this po's ass park but we know why
Play like I didn't make this post and delete my shit (screenshot) ready
See Ya Winter ❄️ Season
