Riverside Park Fund

Our Mission

Riverside Park Fund's mission is to preserve and improve New York's classic waterfront green space. Stretching over four miles along the Hudson River from 59th to 158th Streets, the 330 acres of Riverside Park provide recreation and relaxation for a uniquely diverse population. From seasonal attendants to rehabilitated playing fields, from horticultural projects to creative playgrounds, Riverside Park is cleaner, greener, safer and better because of Riverside Park Fund's supporters.

Pier I

70^th Street at the Hudson River

Pier I and most of Riverside Park South were originally part of the abandoned Penn Central railyard between 59th and 72nd Streets. Reconstructed to its original length of 795 feet, the pier has been narrowed considerably and is now only about 55 feet at its widest part where it once was wide enough to fit four parallel railroad tracks.

The Hamilton Fountain and Plaza Restoration is Under Way!

You may have noticed the fencing and construction at Riverside Drive and 76th Street. With the support of neighborhood residents and the Parks Department, we are repairing the Hamilton Fountain, repaving the Plaza with hexagonal paving blocks, and planting 4 new Princeton Elms for increased shade.

In addition, the marble eagle atop the 102-year old Fountain will be restored to its original condition. We also will add improved seating in the Plaza.

We look forward to the completion of this beautiful restoration in the Park!
