This past weekend the undergraduate and graduate AAP NYC students had the tremendous opportunity to make a final visit of the season to Governors Island. Ten of us met AAP NYC’s E.D., Bob Balder, and new AAP City and Regional Planning Prof. Tom Campanella, at the Battery Maritime Building at 10AM for the first ferry of the day.
Below check out my nifty Twitter map of our visit and a few video clips from the INCREDIBLE vintage French amusement park that was operating on the island for the summer.
(A clip of a historic early turn of the 20th century French amusement park ride in Nolan Park at Governors Island. This ride is part human powered. Participants pedal Flintstones-style to make the ride work!)
Below is a Twitter map of sites and facts we learned while on the island.
