Hudson Crossing is a thriving park that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Some come to walk or bike the trails, others enjoy Hudson River and Champlain Canal access, and still more enjoy the play garden, walking labyrinth, picnic pavilion, and special events.
Hudson Crossing Park wasn’t always so vibrant. Nearly twenty years ago a group of like-minded volunteers saw the potential of unused and neglected land as a perfect location for a community park that could provide a welcome spot to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. It is thanks the tireless efforts of these volunteers that Hudson Crossing Park exists today, but the work is not done.
Hudson Crossing Park, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is still in need of volunteers to help keep the park running, from those who are interested in weeding garden areas to assisting during events or educational programs, to those with special skillsets such as grant writing, graphic design, or fundraising.

Whether you’re a part of a club, group, business, family, or an individual looking to give back, Hudson Crossing Park has a volunteer opportunity that is right for you.
With the Adopt-a-Spot program volunteers sign up to care for specific areas of the park. This can include planting, weeding, raking, picking up litter, and more…and the best part is, you can do it on your own schedule!
Adopt-a-Spot volunteers and organizations are recognized with a sign posted in their spot thanking them for helping to keep the park beautiful, listed on our website “Sponsors & Supporters” page, and invited to the annual HCP Family appreciation event every July.
