The park after last week’s snowfall ❄️ Hope you enjoyed today’s sun and park time. A little calm before we brace for this weekend's snowstorm!

The Witch Hazel is waking up! This native shrub is known for blooming in the depths of winter. Several are just starting to pop in Robert’s Garden (by 116th Street), and you can look for more along the 148th Street tunnels, and at Neufeld Playground at 76th Street.

The holidays are over 😢 but that means it’s time for the best smelling event of the season 😁…. Mulchfest!
Volunteer with us this Saturday, January 10th to help “tree-cycle” Christmas trees. You can even take a tote bag of Christmas tree mulch home with you! 🎄💚
