Friends of the Riverwalk Workday
2026-04-18 10:00 - 14:00 | West Main St – Circle at the end, Tarrytown
FRW will be out on the RiverWalk unless thunderstorms or other severe weather moves in. We will try to make the call to reschedule the day prior if possible.
Please see the attached Friends of the RiverWalk 2026 Workdays flyer.
Our mission remains the same: Assisting the Parks Department staff in establishing and maintaining plants, infrastructure and amenities.
With the severe weather the region has experienced, pruning will be our focus, secondary only to trash removal. Early invasive removal will follow. We hope you will join us as spring unfolds and being outside is again a pleasure. There will be gloves, bags and tools available for adults and kids. We will be happy to show you areas we recommend for work.
Scheduled Park projects include: North RiverWalk irrigation system repair, planting of No Mow grass on at least one of the walkways into the Park, new and relocated plantings. A big part of the planting is soil preparation, so expect to see that transition.
Please join us to help keep the RiverWalk clean and beautiful.

Mark your calendars for our Earth Month cleanup on Sunday, April 26, from 10 – 1 pm! Stop by for an hour or stay for the entire time.

We picked up over 100 lbs of trash at our last cleanup and hope to pick up more!
The cleanup will be held at the Neperan Road parking lot, at the intersection of Sunnyside Avenue and Neperan Road. Look for our sign and table. Donuts, candy, pizza and water will be provided, as well as gloves, pickers, vests, and trash bags. We will work mainly on the trails that go through the woods and on the roads that wind around the lakes. The town will be providing a police escort to keep us safe on the roads. Please wear appropriate attire for the day.
Feel free to spread the word and invite your family and friends. We greatly appreciate any participation! Check out our Instagram @hackleylakekeepers
