Christopher Nolan \u201989 is the park’s head landscape architect<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Manhattan\u2019s Central Park was constructed in the mid-1800s, one of its aims was to offer respite from the stresses of city life, particularly for residents who didn\u2019t have the means to vacation in the countryside. A century and a half later, that purpose was underscored by the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted numerous New Yorkers to decamp to weekend houses or the homes of far-flung relatives. Those who remained\u2014especially workers in essential jobs during the city\u2019s brutal spring 2020 surge in cases\u2014were badly in need of nature\u2019s balm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe park fulfilled its mission, exactly like it was intended to; in many ways, the pandemic really emphasized its importance,\u201d says Christopher Nolan \u201989, noting that even when streets were nearly empty the park was alive with activity. \u201cAmid all the anxiety, it functioned as a place of respite and release and provided an escape that helped people get through the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CALS alum, Nolan is Central Park\u2019s longtime chief landscape architect<\/a>. On the staff of the nonprofit Central Park Conservancy<\/a>\u2014the public-private entity that oversees the park\u2014for the past three decades, Nolan guides the restoration and maintenance of a remarkable 843-acre rectangle of greenery that\u2019s located smack in the middle of a sprawling metropolis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a defining element of New York, as a community and as a city; like the Brooklyn Bridge, it was one of New York\u2019s great infrastructure investments of the 19th century,\u201d says Nolan, who also holds the city-appointed role of Central Park administrator. \u201cIt actually began the urban parks movement, and it was the birthplace of the profession: Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the park\u2019s designers, were the first to use the term \u2018landscape architect.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is that when people come into the park, it\u2019s an uplifting experience to be connected to the beauty of nature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That legacy, and the park\u2019s venerable status\u2014it\u2019s both a U.S. National Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places\u2014constantly require Nolan and his colleagues to balance tradition with modernity. As he observes, \u201cPeople don\u2019t come to Central Park to interpret what 19th-century, English-inspired landscape architecture design was about\u201d\u2014so the park\u2019s current caretakers must honor Olmstead and Vaux\u2019s vision while meeting the needs of a varied 21st-century audience, from avid birders and runners to users of its athletic facilities and playgrounds to people who wish simply to stroll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur driving principle is to preserve the integrity of the original design, so even in the contemporary elements\u2014like some of the recreational amenities\u2014landscape always gets precedent,\u201d says Nolan, whose office is involved in projects as minor as repairing the drainage in a drinking fountain to managing the woodlands in the 36-acre Ramble. \u201cThe idea is that when people come into the park, it\u2019s an uplifting experience to be connected to the beauty of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A park resurrected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Long Island native, Nolan joined the Conservancy shortly after the creation of a master plan designed to resurrect the park, which was in dire shape following years of neglect due to the city\u2019s financial woes\u2014to the point where, he notes, there was talk of it being taken over by the National Park Service. In the intervening decades, under the nonprofit\u2019s stewardship and thanks to millions in donated funds, it has enjoyed a striking renaissance\u2014including the restoration of Belevedere Castle, Bethesda Terrace, the Great Lawn, and the Harlem Meer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in some ways, the park has become a victim of its own success: in non-pandemic times, it sees some 40 million individual visits each year. \u201cThe numbers are incredible, but there\u2019s an intensity of use and how that affects the landscape,\u201d Nolan says. \u201cIt\u2019s a great challenge, and being stewards in the long term influences how we think about restoration and how we operate from a maintenance perspective. Maintaining this trampled landscape\u2014and maintaining the integrity of it, so people feel that they\u2019re in nature\u2014is hard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the park\u2019s most high-profile project is the demolition and rebuilding of a 1960s-era swimming and ice skating complex<\/a> at the park\u2019s northern reaches, expected to be completed in 2024, for which the Conservancy is contributing $100 million. Like many of the park\u2019s infrastructure projects\u2014whose planning and development play out in the public realm, in a city of 8 million people with an equal number of opinions\u2014it has had some detractors and been the subject of impassioned debate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of the things that makes working here so challenging, but it\u2019s also part of what makes it so engaging,\u201d Nolan says. \u201cWe navigate it by having a deep content knowledge about what we\u2019re doing, and by bringing people together to make sure they understand a project\u2019s full context. Often it\u2019s a process of mutual education, and that public dialogue informs our approach. You quickly come to understand that what drives people is a love for the park.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
