| If you walk in a park in New York City, chances are you forget that you’re in the one of the biggest urban centers in the world…which is exactly what the landscape architects and designers who built the City’s parks intended. New York City public parks provide residents and visitors with vast open spaces to relax and enjoy nature, to escape, to play and to unwind, all in the middle of the nation’s most busting metropolis. On Monday, May 17th NYC life presents BLUEPRINT NEW YORK CITY PARKS - an intimate look into the creation of five different parks in each of the boroughs. The documentary profiles the history of how these parks were built and explores how the design of urban parks transformed the City’s landscape. Central Park --- Manhattan Prospect Park --- Brooklyn Pelham Bay Park --- Bronx Flushing Meadows-Corona Park --- Queens Greenbelt Park --- Staten Island “We want a ground to which people may easily go after their day’s work is done…where they shall, in effect, find a city put far away from them.” Frederick Law Olmsted, landscape architect of Central Park and Prospect Park, 1871 | | |||
