Deets: The Davis Center, a $160 million investment in Central Park’s north end, will reconnect the Harlem Meer and its surrounding communities with the rest of Central Park, and will provide year-round community access for the first time, through an innovative design for an alternating swimming pool, ice rink and public green, in addition to a re-envisioned building that integrates the landscapes with new amenity space and public restrooms.
The April 26th official opening will be commemorated with a Community Celebration on the facility’s new Harlem Oval, beginning at 12PM. Harlem residents and all New Yorkers are invited to the free family-friendly celebration, which will feature activations from local community-based organizations, food and drink, live performances and hourly tours of the new venue. The completion of the facility will be marked by a formal ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, April 25th with project leadership, elected officials, community leaders, staff and community members.
The Davis Center will offer a diverse range of majority free and low-cost programming throughout the year, operated both by the Conservancy and other community focused non-profit organizations that will utilize space at the Davis Center. Programming is generously funded by lead donors JPMorganChase, Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), Philip & Alicia Hammarskjold, and Paula and Jeffrey Gural.
