ABOUT
The Stuyvesant Cove Park Association is committed to bringing people of all ages to Stuyvesant Cove Park to enjoy relaxation, renewal, entertainment, and education.
Stuyvesant Cove Park is located on the Manhattan side of the East River adjacent to FDR Drive between East 18th Street and East 23rd Street. The park is connected to NYC Ferry’s Stuyvesant Cove landing.
An annual Friends of Stuyvesant Cove Park meeting is held each October. Attendees learn about the status of the park, hear reports on past events and plans for the future, and share any of their own concerns and observations.

Programming
The Stuyvesant Park Cove Association (SCPA) has been committed to bringing people of all ages to the park and has been presenting free programming and activities since 2005. The free special events have included folk dancing, Childrens’ Creatures Day, dance performances and the annual free summer concert series that has become the centerpiece of SCPA programming efforts. Even amid the ongoing construction at the park, the SCPA has worked tirelessly to ensure entertaining and welcoming events at the river.
In addition to drawing people from all over the city to the park, activities presented by the SCPA have served to provide financial assistance for the continued maintenance and beautification of the park through fees paid to Solar One, the organization contracted to manage the park.
