May Coffee Bark Next Saturday, May 3rd from 9-11am

Hey all,

May's Coffee Bark at St. Nick's Dog Park will be next Saturday, May 3rd from 9-11am. This month's Bark is sponsored by New York Tails Magazine - the magazine for the people and Pets of New York City. The magazine is full of exciting articles about being a pet owner in NYC. Check them out and come to the bark where you can get a free copy of the magazine!


Coffee Barks are held on the first Saturday of every month at the St. Nick's Dog Run. It provides area dog owners the chance to socialize and discuss events and issues in the dog run and St. Nicholas Park.

For more information on how to volunteer for the Coffee Bark, please contact us at dogpark@stnicholaspark.org

Thanks and see you next Saturday!

Hands On New York Helps Spruce up St. Nicholas Park

Yesterday, over 70 volunteers came to St. Nicholas Park and helped rake leaves, paint the 135th street staircase railings, paint the St. Nicholas terrace fencing, spread woodchips in St. Nick's Dog Run and other projects. The park looks great. Along with some members of the Friends of St. Nicholas Park, the volunteers were able to ready the park for Summer.

Special thanks to all the teams and corporations represented yesterday during the successful "Hands On New York" Day. A special thanks to Linda LaCornista who organized the day on St. Nicholas Park. Below is a link to the photos from yesterday.

If anyone is interested in New York Cares or participating at the next Hands On New York day, see the link below.

Thank you for all the Friends who came out and helped.
