Hudson River Park Friends’ membership program is called Friends with Benefits for a reason: joining unlocks VIP opportunities, special invitations, discounts at numerous local businesses that take part in our Community Partner Program, and more ways to enjoy your Park while YOU help it thrive.
You can give back in the way that fits you, from Besties with Benefits, our monthly giving community, to Four-Legged Friends memberships for Park-loving pups and their people.
Sign up today — let’s be Friends.
