Description:

The mission of the Fort Tryon Park Trust is to promote the restoration, preservation, and enhancement of this historic and scenic landmark for the benefit and use of the surrounding community and all New Yorkers. The Trust partners with New York City Parks & Recreation to secure dedicated funding for park restoration efforts, ongoing horticultural maintenance, and free public programming.

The Fort Tryon Park Trust has a goal of raising a $15 million endowment for sustaining the park and has already raised close to $3 million. A generous gift from the Peter Jay Sharp Foundation is initiating the restoration of the three-acre "Alpine Garden," with its carved stone staircases, rock garden plantings, and grotto water feature. A one-mile Winter Walk of conifers and evergreen plantings is being planned, thanks to the generosity of The Arthur Ross Foundation. Historic water service is being reinstated throughout the Broadway expanse of the park thanks to the Cleveland H. Dodge Foundation.
