Friends of Dobbs Ferry Waterfront Park

pollinator in Friends Meadow

The spectacular Dobbs Ferry Waterfront Park, with its striking views of the Hudson River and Palisades, is one of the village’s greatest assets. This public park hosts a variety of community events and concerts. It is a haven for relaxation, picnics and contemplation. It is an inspiring environment for exercise, dog walking, active play and much more. Its facilities include a playground, walking paths, a covered stage, fishing pier, washrooms, exercise equipment, a boat dock and picnic areas – made possible by a major renovation completed in 2015.


The Friends of the Dobbs Ferry Waterfront Park Inc. is a private not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing this amazing community resource. The Friends provide support for the park over and above what the Village of Dobbs Ferry can provide. Current projects include the installation and care of native flower beds, tree planting and other projects that beautify the park and add to users’ enjoyment.

 

Help us make Waterfront Park even more special. You can join our crew of volunteer gardeners, make a donation or volunteer your ideas and expertise!
