Mission

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life of Long Island City by promoting awareness, concern and participation for the publicly accessible green and open spaces in the neighborhood and the waterfront.

Goals

• Assisting the park's staff and management in the maintenance of the natural and man-made features of the landscape
• Preserving the tranquil beauty of this retreat along the river
• Contributing community input to the design of future phases of the park's development
• Participating in, and helping to plan, special events and activities that celebrate the community and the park
• Enhancing play and recreational opportunities in the area
• Monitoring potential problems, informing authorities about the problems, and tracking the problems to help justify adequate levels of park personnel and police
• Promoting an understanding of the unique environmental concerns of the waterfront
• Encouraging the improvement and expansion of publicly accessible green and open space in the neighborhood.

We strive to realize these goals through the work of committees focused on specific concerns, and the efforts of the group as a whole working in cooperation with the public and private agencies responsible for the improvement of Hunter's Point.
