We have been very fortunate partner with some great corporate groups on employee volunteer days in the park. If you are interested in bringing your group to the park to help, please contact us.

We were happy to host 40 employees from Nielsen who helped weed and clean throughout the park during their Global Impact Day, a day where associates from every Nielsen office around the world take the day to give back to their communities through volunteering. The group paid special attention to the dogs runs, clearing all the weeds and speeding a fresh layer of mulch.
April & may 2018
Corlears Hook Park was fortunate to be selected by the New York Junior League’s Playground Improvement Project (PIP) as their 2018 project. Over a 5-week span in April and May, 900 volunteers organized by the NYJL helped beautify and improve Corlears Hook Park by painting fences, benches, lampposts; laying new sod; removing weeds and dead plants; and planting new items throughout the park. They also gifted the park 8 brand new big-belly solar compactor garbage cans. When all was said and done they made over $94,000 worth of improvements to the park without any cost to us or the community. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on May 19th to celebrate the end of the project. More photos of this project can be found on Facebook.
July 2016
Working with Partnership for Parks, a group from Moodys helped to weed and replant the flagpole area in the park with over 100 verbenas and other plantings. They also scraped and painted the security stanchions at the Cherry street entrance.

Partnering with New Yorkers for Parks, we welcomed a group from the Nathan Cummings Foundation who helped plant over 1,600 daffodil bulbs and paint benches throughout the park.
August 2015
Through CityARTS we partnered with various neighborhood youth groups who helped a team of corporate volunteers from BlackRock scrape down and paint the retaining wall in the playground area. They also painted mini nature murals that the kids were able to take back to their community centers.
