Van Cortlandt Park Alliance - Vannie’s XC Course NEEDS YOU!

 


It’s time to get ready for Cross Country season in Van Cortlandt Park!

 

Recent rain storms have caused profound damage to the fields and trails and we need help. 

  • Seasonal maintainers respond to each event, they:
  • Repair storm damage to restore the fields and trails;
  • Mow the grass on lawns and fields;
  • Remove branches, trash, and leaves;
  • Fill holes and ruts on the trails and clear drainage grates.

Volunteers are needed to work with VCPA and NYC Parks to ensure that the course is in tip-top shape for the upcoming season.

 

Volunteer as an individual…

 

Trail Thursdays on the XC

Every Thursday until November 21, 2024

Meet at 9am at the VCPA Garden & Compost Site

 

Or join us with your school, corporate or other group of individuals by completing this form to schedule a date that works for you!

 

Want to help but can’t volunteer, then consider making a donation to our Field & Trail Fund.

 

With your support we can hire seasonal maintainers to supplement the work done by VCPA and NYC Parks’ staff.

 

This year, it is more important than ever to support VCPA’s work because the NYC Parks’ budget was slashed by $20 million and there is a hiring freeze that accounts for 1,000 jobs lost… which means there are not nearly enough Parks workers in Vannie! 

 

Together, we will make sure the Cross Country Course is ready for the 2024 season.
