Not Central Park. Those two daisy-cutter shaped gray things to the right are water towers, which in New york city are mounted on the roofs of buildings and operate by gravity. Likely this photo was taken on the roof of the building where someone in the group lived.
About the tall guy - there’s something of a facial resemblance to Boerner, but I don’t think it’s he. The guy in the group has dominantly round eye sockets, with arched brows. Boerner’s sockets are ‘flatter’, as are his brows which extend pretty far beyond the outer corners of his eyes.
In the photo we know is Boerner, he’s standing beside what appears to be an end-table or a 1960s style record player type cabinet. End tables, record cabinet thingies were/are in the appx 24” - 30” height range. If Boerner was 6’ 5” - that’s 77”. That cabinet is just about level with his hip joint. There’s a drinking glass on the floor near Boerner’s foot. If it’s a standard 6” tall glass, then those screw-on wooden legs on the cabinet are also about 6” tall. Marking off the height of the legs against the cabinet, we have a cabinet height of appx. 30” from the floor to the top. Boerner is standing slightly forward of the cabinet, so if we move him back a bit, that would add appx. 6” from his hip joint to his belt. So now - from floor to belt, it’s appx. 36”. His belt is at half his height, which makes him appx. 72” tall, or 6 feet. That’s a half foot shorter than the guy in the group photo, and a couple of inches shorter that Barry. Also - Boerner’s feet appear to be on the small side, and the other guy’s feet are enormous.
In “Dreams” is mention of Barry’s mother and sister Maya visiting him in New York; perhaps it was Maya who took the group photo.
Wish this photo could go up on Drudge for a day - maybe the others in the photo would come forward for their 15 minutes, though if they were part of the Marxist, feminist types Barry sought out, maybe not. Interesting how lily-hued they all are. Associated with Columbia? Or Bill Ayers? SDS? Brinks? Barry went on his secret excursion to Pockeestahhhn in the same 1981 time frame as the Dohrn-affiliated Brinks attack in that New York suburb.

I'm an Australian, appreciate your comment, I wasn't sure about it being Central Park or not, but at least you have been able to identify the location as New York. So you don't see a lake in the background? I see what you mean about them standing on top of a roof, until you pointed that out, I thought it was some sort of wooden pier.
About Boerner and whether it's him or not in both images, that seems to be a matter of opinion. The fact is, it appears SAD visited zero in New York in that timeframe, and if she did, the man who identified himself as the room-mate being in the group is not so surprising.
