Friends of the Walkway is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Poughkeepsie, New York, dedicated to supporting and enhancing Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park, a 1.28-mile linear park that links Ulster and Dutchess counties. The organization functions as a primary philanthropic and community partner for the park, working with New York State Parks and the New York State Bridge Authority to secure long-term care and development of the site. It raises funds, builds partnerships, and delivers programs and services that engage visitors with the bridge, its surrounding trails, and the regional community, including managing volunteers, an electric tram, information pavilions, and park amenities. The Walkway serves as a hub for recreation and tourism in the Hudson Valley, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, and the organization actively contributes to the park’s ongoing enhancement through events, educational offerings, and maintenance activities. A recent development includes collaboration and program expansion through partnerships with Taste NY and the Walkway Market, reflecting ongoing efforts to connect regional producers with the park’s visitors while supporting the broader Walkway Partnership’s activities.
