Central Park’s New Davis Center Featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal

MG is excited to share Central Park’s New Davis Center at the Harlem Meer has been featured this week in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. As Michael Kimmelman of the NYT describes: “Restoring Central Park’s glory has been a labor of decades, its maintenance an endless task. But the $160 million Davis Center, opening to the public Saturday, is a culmination of sorts. It’s a spectacular new swimming pool, skating rink and pavilion on six remade acres at the Harlem end of the park — the most dramatic change in years to Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux’s pastoral masterpiece of the 1850s.” The Davis Center pavilion, he later goes on to say, is the “project’s centerpiece, a simple, soaring, dignified space facing the pool through giant glass doors that swivel onto the pool’s deck, creating an open-air room with vistas over the lake.” The project will be open to the public on April 26th.
