Join Friends of Transmitter Park and Riverkeeper for a park clean-up event at WNYC Transmitter Park on Saturday, May 1, for the 10th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep, a day of service for the Hudson River and its tributaries.

Registration required.

Meet near the mural wall, at 1 Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn, NY. We ask all Sweep volunteers to wear sturdy shoes or boots, clothing that they can get dirty, and to bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, and a face mask, work gloves and hand sanitizer. This site is suitable for elementary-aged children with proper adult supervision.

*IMPORTANT! To ensure the safety of volunteers, Sweep Site Leaders, park staff, and our communities, we ask that volunteers adhere to the following guidelines:

• Volunteers are required to pre-register for Sweep, and bring their own masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and water.
• All participants and Sweep Leaders must wear masks that fully cover both their nose and mouth, at all times, no exceptions.
• All volunteers must maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet and wear masks at all times. When announcements are being made, a distance of 15 feet should be maintained.
• Volunteers should carpool only with members of their own household.
• Volunteers should not participate if they have ANY signs of illness or if they have potentially been exposed to COVID-19 within the previous two weeks.
