What’s Out There Weekend

New York City

The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) invites you to explore and discover New York City’s remarkable landscape legacy, with FREE tours led by expert guides.

October 6-7, 2012celebrate the city with free tours

The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) provides people with the ability to see, understand, evaluate and appreciate landscape architecture and its practitioners, in the way many people have learned to do with buildings and architects. Through its web site, lectures, outreach and publishing, TCLF broadens the support and understanding for cultural landscapes nationwide.

www.tclf.org

Explore and discover NYC’s landscape marvels with free tours in all five boroughs, featuring some of the nation’s most

innovative landscapes spanning two centuries of design.

Experience the great civic spaces of Brooklyn’s Grand Army

Plaza and Prospect Park, Bob Zion’s original “vest pocket park”

at Manhattan’s Paley Park; Wave Hill’s majestic views of the

Hudson River from the Bronx, and the unique urban design of

Sunnyside Gardens in Queens. Many are places people pass

daily, but do we know their background stories? What’s Out

There Weekend promises to shed new light on familiar places.

What’s Out There Weekend dovetails with TCLF’s Web-based

What’s Out There, the nation’s most comprehensive, free, online

database of designed landscapes. The database offers a broad

and interconnected way to discover the breadth of America’s

landscape heritage, while What’s Out There Weekend gives

people the opportunity to experience the landscapes they might

see every day in a new way.
