Through grassroots advocacy, Gotham Park has convinced the City to reopen over four acres of underutilized public space for our community - and is steadfastly pursuing the vision to increase this footprint to over nine acres stretching from City Hall to the East River. For our efforts, the City has designated our nonprofit the steward of this space - meaning without private funding, all of its potential benefits to Lower Manhattan will disappear.
Your tax-deductible contribution is needed to keep Lower Manhattan's newest public space maintained and activated for the safety and well-being of our community - and to ensure the ultimate design for and improvements to this iconic New York City location serve the needs of our local residents, businesses and community stakeholders.
Gotham Park is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Our EIN is 86-1317846. All donations are tax-deductible as permitted under federal tax law.

"There is no more important park project than this one."

Gotham Park recognizes our Founding Circle Members for their early leadership in supporting our organization's efforts to create a new, legacy public space beneath the Brooklyn Bridge in Lower Manhattan. We are eternally grateful to have these visionary advocates of innovative urban public space with us on this journey.
