NYC 520 | Randall's Island Shoreline Tour

Every year the NYC Department of City Planning celebrates NYC's 520 miles of waterfront on 5/20. This year, join us in celebrating local efforts to expand and enhance access to and awareness of unique waterfront spaces, experiences, and opportunities along NYC's waterfront!

Join the Randall's Island Park Alliance (RIPA) and NYC Department of City Planning for an informative and interactive tour along part of the island's 4.5 miles of coastline. The tour will explore RIPA’s plans for a brand-new shoreline project that will improve coastal resiliency, public access, and recreation along the Harlem River and finish in the beautifully restored Little Hell Gate Salt Marsh. We will delve into the history, ecology, and future of Randall's Island Park shorelines and community stewardship's role in supporting a healthy, resilient, and accessible waterfront. Participants will have an opportunity to gather water quality samples, which are an important tool for informing the public about when and where it is safe to enjoy New York City’s waterways.
