    2017 NYC SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM PARKS & RECREATION-091 Contact: Leslie Nusblatt Phone: (212) 360-8212 Fax: (212) 360-8263 Email: [email protected] AGENCY DESCRIPTION The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation manages 14 percent of the land in New York City. These assets range from playgrounds and large parks, to tranquil wooded areas and more than 14 miles of beaches. Parks serve as New Yorkers’ backyards, as vital meeting areas for outdoor play and recreation – but also as critical engines for economic growth and development. NYC Parks’ mission is to plan resilient and sustainable parks, public spaces, and recreational amenities, build a park system for present and future generations, and care for parks and public spaces to benefit New Yorkers across the five boroughs. Through an effort to improve the quality, accessibility, efficiency and sustainability of our city parks by increasing investment in underserved neighborhoods and expanding parkland: NYC Parks’ Community Parks Initiative, at the center of the Mayor’s plan, is completely redesigning and reconstructing dozens of parks in neighborhoods across the city with the greatest needs—35 of which are nearing the construction phase. NYC Parks is also leading in innovative park design with Parks Without Borders, a new design approach that focuses on improving park entrances, edges, and spaces adjacent to parks. By extending parks into communities, Parks Without Borders will improve New Yorkers’ access to quality parks. Ongoing work to care for our parks has: - Reconnected the City’s two most northern boroughs, Manhattan and The Bronx, when NYC Parks’ historic High Bridge was reopened.
