  • July 8 Grants Press Release
    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

  • Surveillance Cameras Around Tompkins Square Park by Bill Not Bored1
    Surveillance Cameras around Tompkins Square Park By Bill Not Bored1 I’ve been making maps of the locations of publicly installed surveillance cameras in New York City for almost 15 years now. My point has been simple and consistent: it isn’t just the simple existence of the cameras in public places that is offensive; it is their excessive number and the rapid rates at which those numbers are growing, as well. At what point is “enough” actually enough? When is “enough” too much? Of course, one of the locations I’ve mapped is part of the Lower East Side of Manhattan: everything south of 14th Street and north of Houston, and west of the FDR Drive and east of First Avenue. In fact, I’ve mapped this area four times. Between 2001 and 2011, the number of cameras therein grew more than 500%: from 96 to 569, with the growth in the number of privately owned cameras being the decisive factor (the number of cameras on city-owned property only rose from 29 to 46 during that same time period). That’s roughly eight cameras per square block. And, no doubt, even more have been installed since 2011. People have always asked me if there are cameras in or around Tompkins Square Park (TSP), fully expecting, that, given the park’s history, the answer would be “yes” – even “yes, of course.” But there haven’t been any. Unlike Washington Square Park, TSP is not surrounded by New York University or any other major land-owning and land-developing entity, and so there’s been no one or nothing to convince the NYPD to install cameras there.
