Inwood Hill Park: City of Water Day

City of Water Day with Friends of Inwood Hill Park

Saturday, July 12, 2025
10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

On July 12th, Friends of Inwood Hill Park will join dozens of other organizations and community groups in celebrating the 18th annual City of Water Day, a regional day of water-focused events organized by the Waterfront Alliance and the New York-New Jersey Harbor & Estuary Program (HEP). We will mark this City of Water Day by working in and around the regenerating saltwater marsh in the northern part of Gaelic Field. Inwood Canoe Club will also be in Inwood Hill Park as part of a special Open House program that takes participants on free, guided 20-minute kayak trips. The event begins at 2:00 pm, but sign-ups open at 1:30 pm — first come, first served!

Please bring water, clothes that can get dirty, and sturdy, comfortable shoes. All other supplies will be provided. Children under 13 are welcome if accompanied by an adult. If you haven’t already, please sign the FIHP annual waiver for 2025 (adult / minor) and the Inwood Canoe Club annual waiver.

Inwood Hill Park – Irrevocable Conditions: a Play Repertoire for Pride

Irrevocable Conditions: a Play Repertoire for Pride is Inspired by James Baldwin’s quote, “Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.” 

Through 3 weeks and 4 plays, Irrevocable Conditions spends Pride Month exploring the queer community’s conditions of home: all of the plays being done are intimate in nature, and lend themselves to being performed in a true DIY sense a.k.a in an NYC apartment.
