What We Do

Continuing Bayside's Tradition of Stewardship.


There is so much to discover here at Crocheron Park! 

A glacial pond with spots for fishing, woodlands, paved walking/running paths, gazebos with views of Little Neck Bay, recreation fields for all ages, and so much more! Bring your own picnic blanket to enjoy a meal with friends or stop by for an afternoon walk with your furry friend. 

Clean Up Efforts

Ensuring that we have a clean park for future generations helps if we have a clean park today.  Making more bins available is the first step, followed by consistent biweekly clean up efforts led by Neighborhood Volunteers.

Education

We are fundraising to improving educational postings around the park. We are working with NYC archives and historians to host a historic walking tour of Our Park, featuring photographs and historical stories. 

Community

Engaging with fellow community members over the common enjoyment and reverence of our local park.  Clean up efforts are socially distant outdoor activities and Our Park provides a safe outdoor space for all to play, exercise, and relax.

Parks Don't Just Happen! The community, NYC Parks, and dedicated public  officials must come together to advocate for and maintain them.

Environmental improvements also beautify the park!

Mulching around the bases of trees help them in a couple of ways. The mulch provides nutrients to the tree and also cuts down on the "root suckers." These are plants that are invasive species or volunteer growths that grow at the base of the tree compete with the tree for nutrients.
