Walking Tour
The following tour was developed to showcase our neighborhood before the 1996 Olympics. Published first in our MLPA newsletter, the tour and accompanying information is provided as an ongoing resource about Morningside-Lenox Park.
Welcome to Morningside as you may have never seen it before. Please note the following items before you lace up your walking shoes and hit the sidewalks. You might like to refer to the map.
The suggested starting point is Smith Park, gateway to the neighborhood. However, begin the tour at any point along the way. The walking tour route is approximately six miles long. Break the tour into smaller sections as desired. The tour was designed for walking, but biking or driving the tour is possible with a few route modifications.
