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.

Woodland Restoration Project
108th–116th Street
The woodland area inside the Park from 108th Street to 116th Street was developed according to Frederick Law Olmsted’s original Riverside Park design of 1875, however today’s woodlands look much different than during Olmsted’s time. NYC Parks & Recreation, The Tiffany & Co. Foundation and Riverside Park Fund currently are collaborating on a multi-year project to restore this historic woodland landscape.
