City of Water Day 2013 - Join the Fun!

Unglue yourself from the air conditioner, come down to your shore, your amazing waterfront and have some fun at City of Water Day.

We look forward to seeing YOU on July 20th in New Jersey at Liberty State Park, at Governors Island and at 25 other locations throughout the harbor

Despite the heat, you will have a great time although it might make you sad that Roosevelt Island does not take greater advantage of our own East River waterfront.

Perhaps 2013 City Of Water Day be a call to action for the Roosevelt Island waterfront!!!
