Membership makes you a vital part of the "green community.” We give the park a voice, and the greater our numbers, the stronger our voice. Whether you contribute $10 or $10,000, your support matters.

- Contract maintenance services for litter pickup, fountain cleaning and pressure-washing the plaza
- Purchase plants and supplies for the Katharine Hepburn Garden
- Install decorative lamp-post baskets with seasonal floral displays
- Decorate the park in winter with lighted trees in the fountains
- Exhibit world-renowned public sculpture
