Weekday Sketchers at Soldiers and Sailors Monument and Hippo Park
Erected to commemorate the soldiers and sailors who served in the Civil War, this monument has stood at 89th Street and Riverside drive since 1902. Based on an Ancient Greek monument commemorating a theatrical prize in 353 BCE, this iconic building will afford us the opportunity to spend a day in Riverside Park.
And going from the serious to the silly, we will also visit Hippo Park, a playground in the park with wonderfully whimsical hippopotami in a wading pool. Come and capture the hippos and the children who splash around them.
