Pineapple Ride is proud to be an official Partner of Bensonhurst Park, also known as Cropsey Park, a space that has served as our de facto home since our very first ride in 2014. Through community rides, clean-ups, and stewardship programs, we are working to make the park safer, greener, and more welcoming for neighbors of all ages. Our long-term vision is to help establish a dedicated conservancy that can steward Bensonhurst Park and its waterfront for generations to come.
