On September 11th, we remember those who lost their lives, and honor all who have helped us recover. Join us in commemorating this day by visiting these 9/11 memorials in our parks.
Stuyvesant Square Spotlight: One of the most familiar faces our West Garden is Isaac Ellis, whose steady work has helped keep the gardens thriving while SPNA searches for a new head gardener.
Isaac has become an indispensable part the park’s community.

🚨EXTREME HEAT WATCH IN NYC🚨
Wednesday through at least Saturday, heat indices will surpass 100 degrees, potentially reaching 109 on Friday.
These are extremely dangerous conditions, and New Yorkers must plan now to stay safe and help their neighbors do the same.
The best way to prepare for extreme heat is to identify a safe, air-conditioned place you can spend the hot days.
If you don't have air-conditioning at home, plan to stay with family and friends or visit a free, public cooling center. Beginning Wednesday, the City will activate hundreds of free locations across the city.
Find one nearest you, including accessible and pet-friendly options, by visiting https://t.co/Iqa7gXBq7R or by calling 311.
Once you have your heat plan, check in on your neighbors — especially seniors, outdoor workers, and people with chronic health illnesses — to make sure they have one too.
Under the City's Heat Emergency Plan, the City has been planning since last week for what may be a historic heat wave. We will continue to share heat safety guidance and emergency updates throughout the week.
Sign up for emergency alerts by texting NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 and visit https://t.co/Iqa7gXBq7R for more guidance.
Join us Saturdays from 10am-Noon (weather permitting)! No experience is necessary, and all gloves and tools will be provided—just bring a water bottle and we’ll take care of the rest.
