Friends of Riverside Park (FORP)
Friends of Riverside Park (FORP) is a volunteer organization and standing committee of RNA, committed to the upkeep and beautification of the Leone Riverside Park.
FORP became an organized group, in January of 2003. We started working in the park with the Department of Recreation and Parks on two significant projects: planning the design and installation of a new playground and planning for installation of permanent garbage cans throughout the park. We have since expanded our activities to include regular clean-up days, special maintenance projects, concerts, and other celebrations.
The key to the park’s continued success is the work of committed volunteers–our friends and neighbors–who contribute countless hours trimming bushes, picking up trash, lighting the pavilion, replacing trees and shrubs, repairing playgrounds, organizing fundraisers, and much more. FORP volunteers are instrumental in keeping Riverside Park a treasure for our community and the entire City.
