The Manhattan Times

This weekend will offer abundant opportunity for all northern Manhattan residents to commit to beautifying our parkland. There are 13 total activities - one has got to fit in the schedule.

No matter where you live, or where you turn, there will be a park project waiting for you. And with this weekend's forecast pointing to clear, blue skies and temperature highs in the upper 60's, there'll be little reason to not get out and show your park some love.
There are eleven projects on Saturday and two on Sunday.

See you in the park!
