City of New York Parks & Recreation
City of New York Parks & Recreation 2008/2009/2010 Report Welcome. Dear Friends: Parks are New Yorkers’ backyards. It is an open secret that New York City is home to 29,000 acres of City-owned parks and open space, where you can pursue your outdoor dreams, from tending your own vegetable garden to playing cricket, hosting family barbeques and hiking scenic nature trails, all without leaving the five boroughs. With the city’s population of 8.4 million forecasted to climb to over 9 million by the year 2030, the City has a responsibility to preserve, protect, and enhance parks and open space. In response to emerging public health and recreational needs, we are revitalizing abandoned, industrial waterfronts with kayak launches, waterfront esplanades, and verdant lawns. We are bridging the past with the present through arts, culture, and educational programming in historic parks. We are expanding our urban forest 20 percent by planting one million trees in streets, parks, and natural areas. Through adaptive re-use, we are cleaning and transforming former brownfields into community parks laden with amenities. As we design, build, and maintain parks, we are forging a path to create a healthy, livable, and sustainable city. Each year, our City’s parks captivate the hearts of millions of New Yorkers and visitors from across the world. Park patrons are volunteering in increasing numbers to help serve their parks, from pruning street trees to reporting park conditions to organizing public programming. We invite you to read this report to discover new opportunities in parks and hope that you will join us on our mission to bring our parks system to new heights in the 21st century.
