The Hippo Playground Project is a Riverside Park Conservancy affiliate and Park User Group. For over 35 years, they have worked in partnership with the NYC Parks Department and the Conservancy to maintain the playground and provide free activities for the community. The popularity of Hippo Playground is a testament to the amazing care the neighborhood has for one of its treasures.
