It's going to be a fun summer in North Riverside Park.
From a brand new outdoor gym to movies on the waterfront, there's lots to see and do this season in the park from 120th to 181st Streets.
The latest features and programming are the results of the Riverside Park Conservancy's North Park Initiative, first launched in 2009 to bring upgrades to the park's upper section, an area that had seen years of disinvestment.
Here are some highlights to keep you coming back this summer:
