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.

Sold-Out Crowd at Broadway at the Boat Basin!

The event was incredibly successful for the park and was a fitting tribute for Mike O’Neal, long-time Board member and founder of the Boat Basin Cafe.
