This open volunteer event is a general gardening day at Riverside Park. You’ll work with our zone gardeners in various locations throughout the park caring for spring plantings, mulching, weeding and much more.
Volunteers do not need a green thumb to help! This is a great way to get your feet wet if you don’t have much (or any) horticulture experience. If you enjoy working with your hands and being outdoors, this is for you!
Community volunteer events take place rain or shine. Volunteer projects are dependent on the season and the needs of the park. Closed toe work shoes required. Do not bring additional bags, as there is really no place to store belongings.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Riverside Park Conservancy is to restore, maintain, and improve Riverside Park in partnership with the City of New York for the enjoyment and benefit of all New Yorkers.

Description
In the 1870s Frederick Law Olmsted was in the midst of designing a lovely green space above the Hudson River on the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- Riverside Park. Over 60 years later, Robert Moses covered the railroad tracks, built the Rotunda, extended the park to the waterfront, and developed its recreation areas. Expansion south of 72nd Street began in the 1990s. Today, the Riverside Park we enjoy is more than 330 acres of beautiful parkland from 59th to 155th Street.
