Tomorrow, August 21, at 11 AM, Mayor Bloomberg will join the Department of Parks and Recreation to celebrate the groundbreaking for Phase 2 of the Harlem River Esplanade project. People will gather in the park promptly at 11 AM at the intersection of 139 Street and Harlem River Drive. Refreshments will be provided.
The Harlem River Esplanade will revitalize a lovely corridor of public green space along the Harlem River enabling residents of Harlem and East Harlem to better enjoy their river.
The Friends of St. Nicholas Park support all the individuals who have worked to make this initiative happen.

The Friends of St. Nicholas Park is a coalition of residents and community based organizations, working together to revitalize our neighborhood’s natural resource. We advocate for the increase in programming, beautification projects, and the over all positive use of our 23-acre park. With the help of many neighborhood groups, including Community Board 9, the YMCA’S Jackie Robinson Youth Center, the Hamilton Heights Homeowners Association, and the Historic Harlem Parks Coalition (HHPC), we hope to achieve these goals.
Our past achievements include: organizing volunteers for work days in the park under the leadership of our gardener, working with HHPC to sponsor a four night film festival, and hosting a Halloween event, and a tree lighting ceremony.
We love our park and serve as its eyes and ears, always advocating on its behalf and working to address the public interest.
