Description
Beneath the greenery and postcard views of Central Park lies a far more provocative history. This walking tour uncovers the scandals, crimes, controversies, and erased communities that helped shape the park as we know it today. From mass evictions and celebrity arrests to hidden gathering spots, sensational headlines, and statue-related debates, you’ll discover a Central Park most visitors never imagine. This isn’t a fairy-tale stroll. It’s the lesser-known story of a landscape marked by spectacle, secrecy, and shifting social values, where beauty often concealed deeper truths.
