Our Mission

Home . About Us . Our Mission


We support the creation and preservation of Hudson River Park, the world class park for everyone that, when completed, will run from 59th Street to the Battery and create a great urban waterfront on Manhattan’s west side. To achieve our mission, we pursue the following goals:

  • Help attain the public and private money needed to complete the Park

    At this point, nearly $200 million is needed to complete the Park. If additional funds are not secured, construction could be delayed and sections of the Park could never be completed.

  • Secure park areas identified in the Hudson River Park Act and work with the City and State to eliminate incompatible uses

    The Park includes areas that are currently occupied by commercial and municipal operations. We will continue our advocacy efforts to ensure that dedicated park land is not used for other purposes.

  • Build a broad constituency for the Park

    We will continue our efforts to engage a large and diverse group of Park users and attract more people to our fundraising mission.

Please join us in our quest to complete and enrich what will be one of the greatest waterfront parks in the world. With your help, we can ensure that this land is preserved for generations to come.
