No Resolution
HRCS asked Community Board 12 (CB12) to pass a resolution to keep Dyckman Marina open until construction began. CB12 declined.
The Parks Marine division stated they are ahead of schedule and will begin construction by July.

4 months out
NYC Parks claimed that the Marine division has four more months of procurement.
No representative from the Marine division attended the CB12 meeting.
NYC Parks has closed the Dyckman Marina for construction. Hudson River Community Sailing (HRCS) has operated at Dyckman Marina for a decade, offering youth development, adaptive, veterans, member, and public sailing to the local community.
While HRCS supports the waterfront revitalization, the project as it stands does not include two key elements: staging to allow access during construction, and needed improvements to the on-land facilities.
The closure is scheduled for two years, but many of Parks’ Marine projects are far behind schedule. Furthermore, the project lacks a comprehensive vision for a world-class facility, one with educational and community spaces.
HRCS must face the fact that we will be shut down at the end of the 2025 season and plan for the significant operational, financial, and programmatic impacts that the closure will have. We are doing everything we can to find access points for sailing and maritime education during the closure, and will update this site as we do so..

The Impact of Closing Dyckman Marina
New Yorkers With Disabilities
The closure will shut down the only accessible sailing program in New York City, a city with over a million residents living with disabilities.
Public School Students
Over 100 students from 5 different local middle schools will lose access to the water in their neighborhood.
Public Access Programming
Closing Dyckman Marina will cut off access to the River for over 100 blocks.
HRCS provides free and reduced cost services to over 1000 New Yorkers annually.
Track Record of Closure
Parks says the closure will be for two years, but they have a track record of closing marinas and not reopening them:
- The 79th Street Boat Basin closed in 2021, and the construction has not even begun in the 4 years since.
- World's Fair Marina in Queens has been under construction since 2016, with no signs of completion.
