Brian Lairer on WNYC, and now we will end today's show with a look at new developments in our city's most iconic park.

As temperatures rise and spring flowers settle in and burst out,

surely many of you are looking forward to a stroll in Central Park this weekend, if you're

anywhere around that area. If you usually enter the park, say, south of 96th Street, the

Central Park Conservancy has a new attraction opening on Friday tomorrow that you'll want to head

uptown for and of course a lot of you live in that uptown area so joining me now to introduce

you to the brand new Davis Center at the Harlem Mirror and maybe to discuss some other new

initiatives in the pipeline if we have time in Central Park is Betsy Smith, president and CEO of the

Central Park Conservancy.

Betsy, thanks so much for coming on.

Welcome to WNYC today.

Thank you very much, Brian.

And listeners, in addition to whatever you want to say or ask about the Harlem Mirror

part of the park, we'll throw it open in this segment for your underrated

activities or spots in Central Park. Share them with other people. Don't keep them to yourselves.

Do you have a secret birding spot or a place that stays cool even on the hottest of days,

whatever, as well as your questions and stories for our guest, 212,

433, WNYC, 212, 433, 9692.

So Betsy, tell us about the Davis Center.

Well, it's very, very exciting, Brian.

I mean, I would say that this is one of the most exciting projects that we've seen in Central Park in really many years.

And, you know, the Central Park Conservancy has been around since 1980.
