To prepare: Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Remember to bring gloves and a trash bag if you’d like to pick up trash, but this is optional.
Meet up: We will meet in front of the bridge at 10AM before heading over to the island. If you arrive late, please message the Roosevelt Island Whatsapp group to determine where we are.
Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on Whatsapp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the outdoor event.
Contact info: We will communicate changes of plans via Whatsapp, so please join the Roosevelt Island WhatsApp group to receive important event updates.
Accommodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at claudet@ourstompingground.org with the subject line “Accommodation Request.”
