Join TRASH HERO, in partnership with Riverside Park Conservancy, for a cleanup of the Hudson River coastline at Riverside Park South! Meeting at the 59th St entrance to Riverside Park, volunteers will be removing trash and recyclables from the rip rap along the Hudson River, where tides bring trash and debris by the tons.
Email newyork@trashhero.org to RSVP.
This event will be canceled in the event of rain or wet conditions. Closed toe work shoes are required. Do not bring additional bags, as there is really no place to store belongings.
Show up on Saturday, June 15th at 10:00am at the southern tip of Riverside Park South, located at 59th St and the Hudson River Greenway. Take the #1 or A train to 59th St Columbus Circle and walk west on 60th St till you get to West End Ave. Turn left on West End Ave and turn right on 59th St. Walk as far as the road goes (past 12th Ave). The entrance to Riverside Park South will be on your right - we'll be waiting for you!

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. We support the preservation of the park’s historic landscape, structures, and monuments, engage the community in active stewardship of the park, and provide a wide range of public programs.
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.
