This Weekend In Parks
Photo by Daniel Avila
Enjoy all the fun of a ski resort vacation, minus the hassle of travel and expenses. On Saturday, Parks presents a day of FREE, snow-filled activities to remind New Yorkers that winter can be enjoyable. Manhattan's East River Park becomes a plentiful playground packed with the full spectrum of snow games and sports, including cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, ice climbing, and snowman building, as well as the more relaxing perks of fancy resorts like live entertainment, a warming hut, and yummy snacks. For one day of the year, it's a good thing to be left out in the cold!

The section of East River Park south of Stanton Street is temporarily closed due to construction as part of the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project, which will protect Lower East Side residents and waterfront parks from coastal storms and sea level rise. East River Park remains open north of Stanton Street. For access to open park areas, use entrances at E. Houston Street, 6th St Bridge, or 10th St Bridge. For more information on construction progress, when this section of the park will re-open, please visit the Department of Design and Construction’s City’s East Side Coastal Resiliency Project Updates page. If you are looking for places to play and relax nearby, please visit our Neighborhood Recreational Resources page.
