Movie Matinee: 10 Parks That Changed America
Tuesday, September 16th, 1:00 p.m.

In this 55-minute documentary, made possible through public performance rights provided by Kanopy, you’ll discover the inspiring stories of ten visionaries who turned neglected, overlooked spaces into vibrant public parks. From the elegant squares of Savannah to a freeway-topping park in Seattle and New York City’s iconic High Line, you’ll explore how these peaceful green spaces came to life—and meet the people who made them happen, as well as those who stood in their way. You’ll also take a deeper look at the history of landscape architecture—an American-born art form that strives to capture the beauty of nature in the heart of the city.
