A POLLINATOR PATHWAY ALONG MANHATTAN’S EAST RIVER ESPLANADE

Green Park Gardeners NYC at Andrew Haswell Green Park

Welcome to Andrew Haswell Green Park located on the East River Esplanade between E. 60th - 63rd Streets and maintained by Green Park Gardeners NYC. We are a volunteer organization that began when local gardeners received permission to salvage a public park ravaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Named after Andrew Haswell Green, “the Father of Greater New York,” the park features a dog run, benches facing the East River and a spectacular sculpture by Alice Aycock. Previously an industrial site and sanitation transfer station, AHG opened in 2008 and is a small, soon to be much larger, link in the chain of waterfront parks championed by Mayor Bloomberg.

Over the past ten years, we have created a natural haven in a challenging urban setting. Our complex, pesticide-free, native plant garden attracts pollinators and passersby throughout the seasons and has been a certified Monarch Waystation since 2016. We also manage a composting site for community drop-off and volunteer opportunities; the finished product is distributed in the park and neighborhood. GPGNYC operates with the support of the New York City Parks Department and Friends of the East River Esplanade 60th -120th Streets.
