  • Departmentof Parks
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTOF PARKS BOROUGH OF THE BRONX CITY OF NEW YORK JOSEPH P. HENNESSY, Commissioner HERALD SQUARE PRESS NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF PARKS BOROUGH OF 'I'HE BRONX January 30, 1922. Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor, City of New York. Sir : I submit herewith annual report of the Department of Parks, Borough of The Bronx, for 1921. Respect fully, ANNUAL REPORT-1921 In submitting to your Honor the report of the operations of this depart- ment for 1921, the last year of the first term of your administration, it will . not be out of place to review or refer briefly to some of the most important things accomplished by this department, or that this department was asso- ciated with during the past 4 years. The very first problem presented involved matters connected with the appropriation for temporary use to the Navy Department of 225 acres in Pelham Bay Park for a Naval Station for war purposes, in addition to the 235 acres for which a permit was given late in 1917. A total of 481 one- story buildings of various kinds were erected during 1918, equipped with heating and lighting systems. This camp contained at one time as many as 20,000 men, who came and went constantly. AH roads leading to the camp were park roads and in view of the heavy trucking had to be constantly under inspection and repair. The Navy De- partment took over the pedestrian walk from City Island Bridge to City Island Road, but constructed another cement walk 12 feet wide and 5,500 feet long, at the request of this department, at an expenditure of $20,000.

  • Chapter 3: History and Land Use of City Hall Park
    Chapter 3: History and Land Use of City Hall Park A. Background History Alyssa Loorya Introduction This section is edited from the forthcoming doctoral dissertation from Loorya on City Hall Park. Loorya’s work references several graduate student projects associated with the overall City Hall Park project, most notably the Master’s theses of Mark Cline Lucey (included as the next section) and Julie Anidjar Pai as well as reports by Elizabeth M. Martin, Diane George, Kirsten (Davis) Smyth, and Jennifer Borishansky. These reports are presented in Chapter 6. This section outlines the history of the City Hall Park area. To provide for proper context, a general history of the development of the lower Manhattan area is presented first to provide a more complete picture of overall project area. City Hall Park is a relatively small triangular parcel of land (8.8 acres) within New York City’s Manhattan Island. It is bounded to the north by Chambers Street, to the east by Park Row, to the west by Broadway. It began as a cow pasture and today houses the seat of government for the nation’s largest city. The general history of City Hall Park is fairly well documented though only in a single comprehensive source.1 The changing uses of City Hall Park from the beginning of the colonial periodFig. 3-1: of theCity midHall nineteenthPark Location century reflect 1 The Master’s Thesis City Hall Park: An Historical Analysis by Mark Cline Lucey, 2003, (below) chronicles the physical development of City Hall Park from the Dutch Colonial period to the mid-nineteenth century.

It began as the early seventeenth-century “Commons”—pastureland for the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam. The space played a prominent role in the American Revolution: Protests against the Stamp Act were held there, in 1765; the Sons of Liberty famously raised a series of “liberty poles” on the Commons, or “Fields,” beginning the following year; Alexander Hamilton gave his first public speech there; and in July of 1776, just prior to the British invasion of Manhattan, Washington gathered his troops on the Commons and ordered the Declaration of Independence read aloud to them. The site became a public park in the early nineteenth century. Ever since it has been the site of demonstrations, riots, assassinations, executions, and natural disasters; a stage set for ceremonies, protests, and funerals; and the epicenter for festivities, including huge celebrations commemorating the opening of the Erie Canal, in 1825, and the Croton Aqueduct, in 1842. During the Cable Festival of 1858, a civic pageant celebrating the first successful connection of the trans-Atlantic cable, errant fireworks caused a fire that burned City Hall’s roof and cupola.

The LMDC is a joint State-City corporation governed by a 16-member Board of Directors, half appointed by the Governor of New York and half by the Mayor of New York. LMDC is charged with ensuring Lower Manhattan recovers from the attacks and emerges even better than it was before. The centerpiece of LMDC¿s efforts is the creation of a permanent memorial honoring those lost, while affirming the democratic values that came under attack on September 11. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development appropriated $2 billion to fund the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation¿s initiatives. Recovery Needs: The World Trade Center attacks resulted in a staggering loss of life and extensive physical destruction to Lower Manhattan. Approximately 30 million square feet of commercial space was damaged or eliminated, and seven buildings in the World Trade Center site were completely leveled.

  • Measuring Neighborhood Parks Into the Hands of Local Experts
    A Citizen’s Guide A Citizen’s Measuring2 1Neighborhood Park3 Use4 Introduction New Yorkers for Parks (NY4P), in partnership with Bronx REACH CHAMPS, led by the Bronx Community Health Network, made this guide to help city residents measure how people use neighborhood parks. This guide builds on local expertise and puts the tools for measuring neighborhood parks into the hands of local experts. The guide allows anyone to collect and share information that can bring new resources to parks. The guide works with other advocacy tools provided by NY4P. Once you know what works and what does not work in your park, based on evidence collected through observing how people use a neighborhood park, you can make the case for change with local decision makers - from elected officials to parks staff. The contents of this guide are adapted from a formal study and process created by the RAND corporation called System for Observing Play & Recreation in Communities (SOPARC). Learn more: www.rand.org/health/surveys_tools/soparc.html How to use this tool This guide will teach you, and any other volunteer interested in studying how people use city parks, to do the following things: • Divide your neighborhood park into zones to study different uses • Measure how people are using the parts of your parks • Count the users that you observe, along with information about who they are • Understand the information you gather and how to share it • Improve things in your park using information gathered What is inside? The guide is divided into four sections that describe how to set up your study, who can help you, how to measure park usage, how to interpret what has been observed and what to do with the new information to improve your park.
