WHAT WE DO

we maintain and refurbish all the parks along the east river and offer special public events for all ages

What makes Sutton Place unique are our six parks overlooking the East River from 53rd Street to 58th Street. These small public spaces provide for park visitors to relax and children to play and learn. Workers visit the parks in the morning and at lunch and sightseers enjoy the reflected sunset off the river in the evening.
