Block Association Upcoming Events
Bird Watching- End of Spring Migration
Saturday June 1st 9 am Rain or Shine
Riverside Drive Benches at 104 Street
We should still be able to catch late season migrants. Walking from 104th to 120th, we will visit the Forever Wild path, the gotham goats and then try to spot the Red-tailed Hawks that are nesting at St. John the Divine. After that, folks can either head back home or continue into Central Park. An RSVP to Peter Littlewood is good but not required. Bring binoculars if you have them (we’ll have a few extras) and dress for the weather.
Evening Soiree at Ellington in the Park- lower level
Wednesday June 5th from 6 to 8 pm
Riverside Park at the promenade at 105 Street
Join your fellow block association members and members of the Board for some camaraderie. Enjoy a beer, a burger, and/or the sunset and slow down that pace for just a little while. Dutch treat.
RSVP to Steven Zirinsky so we get a head count- this is weather dependent.
Riverside Park Clean Up
Sunday June 15th 10am to 1 pm
Through the grassroots program at the Riverside Park Conservancy, the Block Association is volunteering to clean up the part of the park, between 103rd and 108th Streets. We will be doing weed tree removal.
Meeting Place- Enter at the 104 Street steps and head south down to the promenade. Bring your attitude…the Conservancy will supply gloves, shovels, clippers and so forth. Dress code is formal—long pants and closed toed footwear a must. Long shirt and a hat is a good idea too, along with bug repellent and sun screen (though we should be in the shade mostly). While the Conservancy will have some water, bring your own just the same.
Ages- 10 and up. It is a good family activity.
Space is limited and you must RSVP to Steven Zirinsky. Rain or shine, unless it is thundering.
Come and contribute to a greener and cleaner Riverside Park. This is the first time we have attempted participation in this manner. Help make this a success!
Thanks!
Steven Zirinsky
