Party for the Parks 2024

Mark your calendars! Monday June 10, 2024 is the Palisades Parks Conservancy’s annual benefit and celebration of our system's 130,000 acres of magnificent parkland and rich historic sites.

This year we are excited to honor Billy Procida for his continued dedication to Tallman Mountain State Park and outgoing New York State Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid for his inspired leadership and contributions to the Palisades region.

Join us at Ross Dock at the foot of the New Jersey Palisades for an evening of drinks, delicious food, live music, and beautiful views. 

Please reach out to remy@palisadesparks.org for sponsorship opportunities.

Introducing Our New Logo & Website

Notice anything different about us? You might have seen that our logo and look have changed a bit recently. We worked with Brooklyn-based design firm Order to create a new visual identity for the Conservancy including a new logo: a pine cone from a Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida tree). This hearty and resilient native tree thrives in tough and unforgiving environments like the rocky Palisades ridge line.

Our website has also been revamped to make it easier to information about our 29 parks and historic sites. It's also more mobile friendly and available in multiple languages!

Finally, we have launched a beta version of a new events calendar, where you can find out about hundreds of programs and events happening throughout our region in one place.

Kick Off Earth Month this Saturday, 4/6:

A parking pass, gloves and supplies will be provided. Outdoor exhibits will also be open for volunteers to enjoy. Hope to see you there!

We depend on individuals, as well as public funds, for financial support to fulfill our mission. Your donations enable the conservation and protection of open space and wildlife habitats, and increase programs and services for millions of visitors every year.
