FRIENDS OF HUDSON PARKS

Friends of Hudson Parks is a 501(c)(3) organization independent from the City of Hudson which actively supports the use and enjoyment of the Hudson Parks through volunteerism, advocacy, promotion and fund raising.

We are guided by our shared values: environmental conservation and restoration, education, community engagement, recreation, health and wellness — to serve, preserve and enhance the Hudson community through a vibrant park system.

Discover events and programs held in Hudson’s parks sponsored by the Friends of Hudson Parks as well as other ways to get involved by volunteering or supporting those programs.

None of our programs would be possible without support through donations and membership in the Friends of Hudson Parks. Please consider becoming a member or donating!
