(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); History Hudson River Park Friends is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and enhancement of Hudson River Park, a waterfront park located on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. The organization was founded in 1999, shortly after the park's creation, by a group of concerned citizens who saw the need to supplement the public funding for the park with private donations. The Hudson River Park Friends played a key role in securing the funds necessary to build and maintain the park. They have raised millions of dollars to support the park's maintenance, operations, and programming, as well as to fund capital projects such as the construction of new piers, the repair of existing infrastructure, and the installation of public art. The organization has also been instrumental in advocating for the park's expansion and improvement. They work closely with the Hudson River Park Trust, the government agency responsible for the park's management and operation, to ensure that the park meets the needs of the community and remains a vibrant and accessible public space.
