Garden Guardian Dedications

Setting standards for waterfront parks nationally, Hudson River Park is like no other outdoor space in New York City, a precious reserve affording access to gloriously diverse and uniquely beautiful landscapes.

Setting standards for waterfront parks nationally, Hudson River Park is like no other outdoor space in New York City, a precious reserve affording access to diverse and beautiful landscapes.

Our location alongside the mighty Hudson River makes unusual demands of our horticulture: wind off the river, salt spray in the air and the unique constraints of pier landscaping. 

Through an array of prominent naming opportunities, Garden Dedications help guarantee this botanical bounty and ensure that our Park remains a thriving urban oasis, providing community engagement and natural beauty for years to come.

To adopt a piece of your Park, please fill out this form. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact [email protected] or call 212-757-0981.
