In the fall of 2023, SDR Park Alliance hosted 3 park cleanups and bulb plantings in partnership with the Parks Department.  Families, neighbors, and local businesses rolled up their sleeves to pick up trash around the Hester Street playground and the basketball courts.  For our first “back to school” park event, we collected donated board games for PS124.  In October and November, we planted close to 2000 bulbs around the perimeter of the recreational areas.  We were so impressed by the energy of the many children who attended.  At each of these events, SDR Park Alliance sponsored cultural performances from NYU Violet Diabolo (Chinese Yoyo), Manhattan Shaolin Kungfu, NYC Cultural Center (Dancing), and New York Chinese FreeMason’s Athletic Club (Lion Dancing).  The momentum keeps growing.
