Mott Haven Walk & Talk to Build a Strong Parks System

Join a Mott Haven Walk & Talk to build a strong parks system! Together with local partners, we’ll explore how parks, greenways, the Bronx waterfront and open spaces are shaping the future of the South Bronx—and why investing in the public realm matters for health, safety, and climate resilience.

Meeting Point: Graham Triangle, South Bronx, next to 6 Train (3rd Ave-138th St. stop)

Date: Friday, October 24

Time: 1 to 3 PM

What to Expect

• Park system wins that show what’s possible with sustained investment.
• Infrastructure needs & opportunities for safer, greener, and more connected public spaces.
• Climate-smart solutions that protect communities today and tomorrow.
