Who We Are

The Friends

The Friends of Washington Market Park is a non-profit neighborhood organization that produces free public events and supports restorations and improvements in the park.

In addition to advocating for quality, routine park maintenance, we secure private and public funding to assist the NYC Parks Department with special projects when necessary.

Our organization is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and produces events with volunteer power. Our always-free public events include concerts, planting days, movie nights, a Halloween parade and a pumpkin carving contest.

Opportunities exist for private citizens and corporations to sponsor an event, beautify the park, or support community programs. Contributions are fully tax-deductible and may be made as tributes, dedications or anonymous donations.

Email info@washingtonmarketpark.org to get involved or for more information on meeting dates, donations or specific events.
