This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.

  • NYC Libraries by the Numbers
    Data - June 2015 NYC Libraries by the Numbers Despite declining funds and limited hours of service, New York City’s public libraries are seeing a surge in users and uses. Below we show where the growth is happening and how funding cuts in recent years have affected performance, and provide the city’s first branch-by-branch accounting of book circulation, program attendance and visits. by David Giles In today’s information economy, New York City’s public libraries have become dynamic learning environments with an uncommonly wide range of services and resources. No longer just book repositories, libraries are places where teens can geek out on computers, the unemployed can improve their resumes, and immigrants can learn and practice English. They are community spaces where people are encouraged to share stories and impart advice, where volunteers can donate their skills and teach a class on knitting or film editing. They are platforms for community organizations and neighborhood groups, and resources for budding entrepreneurs and hobbyists. Since the early 2000s, New York City’s 207 library branches have leveraged their status as community anchors and their ability to draw on volunteers as well as librarians and other trained staff to dramatically increase the number and type of public programs on offer. Between Fiscal Years 2002 and 2014, annual attendance at these programs increased by 67 percent, or 1.1 million attendees. In Fiscal Year 2014, nearly 2.8 million New Yorkers attended a class or workshop or some other event at their local library, compared to just 1.7 million in Fiscal Year 2002.

    AMERICAN SOCIETY OF American Society of Landscape Architects LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS Medal of Excellence Nominations NEW YORK 205 E 42nd St, 14th floor c/o Carolyn Mitchell New York, NY 10017 636 Eye Street, NW 212.269.2984 Washington, DC 20001-3736 www.aslany.org Re: Nomination of Central Park Conservancy for Landscape Architects Medal of Excellence Dear Colleagues: I am thrilled to write this nomination of the Central Park Conservancy for the Landscape Architects Medal of Excellence. The Central Park Conservancy (CPC) is a leader in park management dedicated to the preserving the legacy of urban parks and laying the foundations for future generations to benefit from these public landscapes. Central Park is a masterpiece of landscape architecture created to provide a scenic retreat from urban life for the enjoyment of all. Located in the heart of Manhattan, Central Park is the nation’s first major urban public space, attracting millions of visitors, both local and tourists alike. Covering 843 acres of land, this magnificent park was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1963 and as a New York City Scenic Landmark in 1974. As the organization entrusted with the responsibility of caring for New York’s most important public space, the Central Park Conservancy is founded on the belief that citizen leadership and private philanthropy are key to ensuring that the Park and its essential purpose endure. Conceived during the mid-19th century as a recreational space for residents who were overworked and living in cramped quarters, Central Park is just as revered today as a peaceful retreat from the day-to-day stresses of urban life — a place where millions of New Yorkers and visitors from around the world come to experience the scenic beauty of one of America’s greatest works of art.

Throughout 2011, our army of 55,000 volunteers prepared low-income high school students to ace the SAT; practiced critical reading and math skills with homeless children; assisted adults entering the workforce with résumé development and interviewing skills; helped with the post-Hurricane Irene relief efforts – and the list goes on and on. In March, Gail B. Harris we offered a record 2,300 projects in a single month, which contributed to the year’s overall program growth of almost 10%. Board President While we are proud of our accomplishments, we recognize how much more there is to do. In 2011, our Community Partners – the 1,200 nonprofits for which we plan and manage volunteer projects – conveyed with unparalleled frequency that if not for New York Cares, New York they simply would not be able to fulfill their missions.
