Throwback: Olmsted Promenade Sketch

Check out this sketch by the Olmsted Brothers from 1932, showing their vision for Fort Tryon Park as seen from the “Main Terrace” — what we now call Linden Terrace! 🌳

Remarkably, their design looks a lot like the park we enjoy today. Notice how the trees hadn’t yet grown to their full size — the sweeping views they envisioned are now beautifully framed by mature canopies that have taken nearly a century to flourish!

Fort Tryon Park Conservancy - The Fort Tryon Park Conservancy’s mission is to restore, preserve, and enhance this historic and scenic landmark for the benefit and use of the surrounding community and all New Yorkers and visitors.

Fort Tryon Park Trust is now Fort Tryon Park Conservancy

We’re excited to introduce our new name across our website and email communications. Our new website is currently under construction — stay tuned for updates!
