Join TRASH HERO, in partnership with Riverside Park Conservancy, for a cleanup of the Hudson River coastline at Riverside Park North! Meeting at the 148th St coastline, 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 at 10:00am at the 148th St Hudson River Coastline. Take the #1 train to 145 th St. and walk north for three blocks until you hit 148 th St. Walk west on 148 th until you hit Riverside Drive. Cross the street and go down the staircase. Walk over the bridge and go down the staircase to the right. Continue through the underpass and take the path to the left between the baseball field and basketball courts. We will be waiting under the Riverside Park Conservancy tent!

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.
