A Big Day in the Big Apple!

     This past Saturday, October 26th, our History of Landscape Architecture class went on a super exciting trip to New York City!  The trip began with a tour through Central Park, guided by our professor Seiko Goto.  We learned about a lot of the history of Central Park, Fredrick Law Olmstead, and formal vs. informal designs.

     After a walk through Central Park, we split off from our professor and wandered the city on our own.  Some of us went to see the Battery Park in Lower Manhattan and then went on to visit The Highline.  Check out these pictures of our trip! (Courtesy of our classmate Theresa Hyslop):

So many people enjoying the Highline!
