The Park’s Tribeca Boardwalk is looking especially lovely thanks to the hard work of volunteers from Warner Bros. Discovery. Volunteers helped remove invasive species from gardens that support native plants and wildlife, along with other tasks to beautify this popular walking path and ensure it looks its late-summer best. Thank you, Warner Bros. Discovery volunteers!

We caught up with blues legend Bobby Rush before he took the stage at this year’s Blues BBQ Festival.

The Grammy-winning artist brought his signature sound and showmanship to the Park’s Pier 76 to close out an outstanding day of live blues, delicious BBQ and summer fun on the waterfront.

Monitoring oyster habitat enhancement structures in the Hudson River takes a lot of work, but staff are happy to do it! 🦪

Since 2021, Hudson River Park has deployed over 30 million juvenile oysters into our 400-acre Estuarine Sanctuary. Twice a year, the oyster structures are monitored for growth, mortality and biodiversity of fish and other organisms.

While the work is wet and muddy, the information collected helps us assess the effectiveness of different oyster restoration structures to inform future restoration efforts.
