May 26, 2010. (Greensboro, NC) Join us for free, family friendly movie nights in the Park! Each month, we will highlight a local nonprofit. June’s Center City Cinema showing will be The Secret Garden highlighting The Greensboro Children’s Museum Edible Schoolyard on Friday June 18th. Information and children’s activities start at 7:00pm and the movie will start at 8:00pm.

Watch the story unfold as young Mary Lenox loses her family and is forced to move to England to live with her distant uncle in his Yorkshire manor, whereupon she makes several discoveries. First she finds an overgrown secret garden, the favorite of her aunt and locked up since her death. Second, that she has a cousin, Colin, a sickly lad who has been told he must remain in bed out of the daylight at all times. Once Mary and another new friend, a local boy named Dickon, have brought the garden back to life they decide Colin must see it, a decision that will change several lives.

Bring a blanket, a picnic, and some spare change to purchase popcorn and candy!

About Center City Park: The mission of Center City Park is to serve as a central gathering place for Greensboro’s residents and visitors in a setting that is both relaxed and lively. The 1.9-acre park opened in December of 2006 after four years of planning and construction. Located in the heart of downtown Greensboro, it fills the block between North Elm and North Davie Streets, bordered on the south by West Friendly Avenue and on the north by the Renaissance Tower office building. Its central location compliments and builds on the strengths of the nearby cultural and recreational facilities in the Greensboro Cultural Center, Greensboro Historical Museum, and YWCA. Center City Park incorporates themes and details inherent to Greensboro’s history and culture and is designed to represent our city as an open and welcoming place of diverse people.
