Hoboken Friends of the Park Volunteer Interest Form

What are Friends of the Park groups?

These community organizations will gather people together who love a specific park to care for that park. Friends groups will build stewardship and philanthropy to improve our shared public places.

The City currently has two groups: Friends of Church Square Park, and Friends of Elysian Park. Additional Friends of the Parks groups may be established in future years.

By becoming a Friend of your favorite park, you will help to shape Hoboken parks for generations to come. Please indicate your interest in joining or leading a Friends group through the form below.
