For years, the Park Avenue malls were overlooked—grass worn down and frequently misused by dog walkers. In 1980, a decade after its founding, Carnegie Hill Neighbors took the lead on a major revitalization effort.

​​

Since then, CHN continues to maintain the malls from 86th to 97th Street, tending to the lawns and flower beds with regular watering, weeding, soil conditioning, and repairs to signage and railings. We also coordinate seasonal plantings—tulips in the spring, begonias in the summer—bringing color and life to the avenue throughout the year.

 

At the northern tip, just before the Metro North tracks, a small park at 97th Street marks the final stretch. Though modest in size, this garden reflects CHN’s enduring commitment to keeping Carnegie Hill green, beautiful, and well cared for.

​

This transformation has only been possible thanks to the continued support of the buildings that line the avenue.
