Come on down to the banks of the Hudson River for a free Jazz Concert featuring the Dave Glasser Jazz Quartet and celebrating the $1.2 million dollars the NYC Council has awarded Riverside Park for its newest project: Green Outlook. Introduction by New York City Council Member Gale Brewer.
Green Outlook will transform an abandoned parking lot into new park land on a bluff overlooking the Hudson, between the new River Walk and Cherry Walk extensions of the Hudson River Greenway. But that's just the beginning. Green Outlook will also provide Park and Greenway users with a much-needed public restroom. By using solar energy, composting technology and a green roof this public facility will have no carbon footprint and will serve as a model of sustainability for future Park facilities throughout New York and beyond. Green Outlook will also include an equally green maintenance building for the adjacent public tennis courts and surrounding lawns and gardens.
New York City Council Member Gale Brewer has already allocated $1.2 million for this visionary project and we are asking Park & Greenway users to raise an equal amount in private funds.
Please join us, along with Council Member Brewer, for an evening of free jazz in the park and help us launch the Green Outlook Initiative.
