WELCOME
The mission of the City Hall Park Conservancy is to enhance and re-envision City Hall Park as a community asset and New York City-wide symbol, and to celebrate its past and contemporary history. We are working in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, to make the best possible
CITY HALL PARK.
OUR BIG IDEAS
Open Areas
The Park contains several areas that could be cultivated as lawn or mixed-use space, and open to area residents on a regular basis. Meet for a picnic, play with the kids, or attend a free t’ai chi class on the grass. Let’s make it happen together.
Horticulture & Sustainability
The green space at City Hall Park connects our city to nature. With our volunteers, and in collaboration with NYC Parks, we are expanding our horticultural program. Setting sustainability standards is essential for our park and to inspire and engage New Yorkers.
Living History
One of our foremost goals is to bring attention to the rich, and sometimes troubled, history of our neighborhood park. During excavations in 1999, evidence of burials and ephemera left by generations past were found. We are finding ways to highlight and educate the public on these fascinating aspects of our Park.
Programming
Discover an active city park just a short walk from your front door. Free weekly t'ai chi or yoga classes in the summer months, nature discovery programs for children, and cultural education walks to learn more about the fascinating history right below your feet. Our thoughtful, year-round programming will reflect and serve the neighboring communities, as well as visitors and commuters passing through our green oasis.
