Product Information

The story of how one woman's long love affair with New York's Central Park led her to organize its rescue from a state of serious decline, returning it to the beautiful place of recreational opportunity and spiritual sustenance that it is today. Elizabeth Barlow Rogers opens with a quick survey of her early life--a middle-class upbringing in Texas; college at Wellesley, marriage, a master's degree in city planning at Yale. And then her move to New York, where she starts a family and, when she finds being a mother and a housewife is not enough, pours herself into the protection and enhancement of the city's green spaces. Interwoven into her own story is a comprehensive history of Central Park: its design and construction as a scenic masterpiece; the alterations of each succeeding era; the addition of numerous facilities for sports and play; and finally, the anything goes phase of the 1960s and 70s, which was often fun but nearly destroyed the park. The two narratives continue to entwine as she finds a job in the administration of Central Park, founds the Central Park Conservancy, and transforms both the park and herself--a transformation that has led to the writing of her many books, to travels that have taken her to parks and gardens around the world, and to solidifying the prestige of one of New York's most conspicuous landmarks.

Reviews
"[An] elegant memoir . . . Rogers's commitment to urban renewal is evident throughout, and her book reads as a heartfelt plea for people to fulfill their responsibilities to maintain green spaces in the cement jungle." -- Publishers Weekly "An inspiring story of a defiant woman and the landscape she loved. . . . How a public-private partnership revitalized Manhattan's famed park. . . . Besides offering a historical overview, Rogers documents the challenges she faced from city administrators and private individuals. Her task was daunting . . . private support was essential. Rogers learned that effective leadership required the three Ps--patience, passion, and persistence--as well as power, politics, and the purse." -- Kirkus Reviews "This measured memoir will appeal to New Yorkers who appreciate their central green space, as well as landscape architects and cultural administrators." --David R. Conn, Library Journal
