Student Volunteers
We’re excited to introduce our Cadman Park Conservancy intern, Rosemary Sanders!
Rosemary is a junior at Utrecht High School who first connected with the Conservancy last spring as a volunteer. She later became an SYEP intern, working under NYC Parks Gardener Jessica Kulig. Since then, she has remained involved as an intern, driven by her passion for environmental science and is working on an initiative to create a compost area (green and brown, no food scraps) for Cadman and our adjacent parks.
Student Volunteers
The Conservancy is delighted to introduce Julius Kohn-Blank and Georgia Karshan, juniors at Packer Collegiate High School.
They are taking on a leadership role by organizing fellow students who want to volunteer in Cadman Park, helping to nurture and maintain the space. We look forward to welcoming their student volunteers this spring and are grateful for their initiative in supporting the park.

Lantern Lights
Park Update:
We have been alerted that the park's lantern lights have been out of sync.
The Department of Transportation (DOT), which oversees the lights, has been notified and will be making adjustments as soon as possible.
Thank you to everyone who reported this issue! We appreciate your patience.
Happy 2025!
Rolling into 2025 with joy and adventure! Wishing everyone a Happy New Year filled with fun, nature, and unforgettable moments in the park.
Thank You!
Thank You for Your Support!
The Cadman Park Conservancy is deeply grateful for your generous end-of-year donations. Your support is essential for planting native perennial pollinators and planning a vibrant spring season.
In 2025, we’re excited to enhance connections between Brooklyn Korean War Veterans Plaza and Walt Whitman Park with even more native plants. Let’s shape the future of our green spaces together—consider making a donation today!
Wishing you a very Happy New Year! We can’t wait to enjoy the park with you in the year ahead.
Dogs
Happy Holiday Greetings! We hope that you are enjoying the holiday season with your family and friends. Last week, early Christmas Eve morning we had a beautiful snowfall and the park was a magical place to experience the snow. There were several dog owners with their pets off leash during allowed hours on the north oval and also on the synthetic field. We gently reminded them that although the synthetic field is covered with snow that dogs are not permitted at any time and that there are plenty of areas in Cadman and our adjacent public parks for their dogs to run.
Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work!
Founding Conservancy President, Toba Potosky spent part of his holiday weekend with Owen Bluestine, a sophomore at Syracuse University. Thank you Owen for collecting 65 bags of leaves, making a tremendous difference in Cadman Plaza Park. We appreciate your commitment, generosity of your time and hard work. Thank you, Owen!
