Juliana Arbelaez
Co-Founder

  • Juliana co-founded 4TP in 2024 with Hannah Maguire out of their shared love of parks, where many of their best conversations were had and friendship started. Originally from Memphis, she grew up having mandatory “trash pickup” walks on family vacation and learning the values of “Leave No Trace” during her summers spent in North Carolina.

    Favorite NYC park: Hudson River Park (West Side Highway) or Jackson Square

Hannah Maguire
Co-Founder

  • Hannah co-founded 4TheParks with Juliana because of their shared love of green spaces. Growing up in Massachusetts, Hannah spent a lot of time in parks: gardening alongside her parents and worked as a gardener pulling weeds, planting new flowers, and making green spaces more beautiful.

    Since moving to NYC in 2020, she’s found solace and peace in parks across the city–reading books, picnicking with friends, or just sitting and watching the world go by.
