Thank you for your support of the Hudson River Park Friends Playground Committee.

The Playground Committee works to promote and support everything Hudson River Park has to offer, especially as it relates to children. By raising awareness and advocating for the Park, the Playground Committee works to gather support from the local community and raise funds for the Park’s innovative Play Areas and provides safe and imaginative environments for exercising, playing and making friends. Whether it is providing educational school field trips, summer camp sessions or enrichment activities for children, the Park’s fun and hands-on learning experiences transform our mission of environmental stewardship into a community affair. The Committee’s funds help fulfill our mission to educate children and family on the rich history, ecology and wildlife in our nearly 550-acre back yard.

Hudson River Park is also home to some of the most heavily used recreational fields in Manhattan, accommodating a wide variety of sports. Support for resurfacing tennis courts, repairing turf, replacing basketball nets, reseeding fields and carrying out all the other required maintenance will ensure that our children and families enjoy the proper grounds and equipment to practice their sport. The Park provides a wide range of free and low-cost recreational programs and events throughout the year, especially for children. Funds raised by the Playground Committee help to pay for staff, equipment and the remarkably talented artists and educators who bring joy to so many children and families each year.

Hudson River Park is not a New York City Park and receives no government funds for its operations, maintenance or programming, which are instead supported by generous individuals like you through and private donations. Your gift to the Park’s Playground Committee ensures our children have a fun and safe experience in Hudson River Park and we are grateful for your support. Thank you.
