HIGGINS Coinmissioner for the Borough of the Bronx MICHAEL J. KENNEDY Comrnissioncr for the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queen\ CLINTON H. SMITH, Secretary SAMUEL PARSONS, Landscape Architect PARK BOARD The personnel of the Park Board underwent a change at the beginning of the year, two new Commissioners being appointed by the newly eleded Mayor, the Hon. William J. Gaynor. The new appointments were Charles B. Stover, for the Boroughs of Manhattan and Richmond, and Thomas J. Higgins, for the Borough of The Bronx. Michael J Kennedy, Commissioner for Brooklyn and Queens, was reappointed. In appointing the new members of the Board his Honor expressed the desire that the public be given the fullest measure of enjoyment in the parks, and that they should be maintained with that idea in mind; and also that all considerations of politics, race or creed be eliminated from the government and regulation of the work- ing force. The Board has endeavored to administer the parks from these stand- points during the year. The expenditures for the account of the Board during the year amounted to $27,900, all for salaries of the Commissioners, Secretary and other officers.

Conservatory Lake, Central Park, Set Apart for Fancy Skating. BOROUGHS OF MANHATTAN AND RICHMOND The policy of the Commissioner for the parks of 'Manhattan and Richmond dur- ing the year 1910 has been the enlargement of the public use of the parks for purposes of recreation, and the increase of publlc enjoyment of the parks through more inti- mate acquaintance with the natural advantages for rest and recreation which they provide, than can be obtained by observation from the walks to which the public has heretofore been in the main restricted. The natural tendencies of young people towards baseball and other games have been recognized, and increased facilities have been provided not only in the parks, but by the addition of playgrounds and baseball fields outside the parks throughout the city. To widen the scope of this movement, and to insure the fullest measure of enjoyment to the public, particularly the younger generation, in the use of the faclli- ties afforded them for recreation in the parks, the administration and conduct of the various playground features of the Department were consolidated in a special Bureau of Recreation, under the supervision and direction of a Supervisor of wide experience in the conduct of municipal playgrounds. Tihe success attained through the efforts of the new Bureau can best be noted by a glance over the report of the Supervisor, wh~chis given in part herewith: REPORT OF BUREAU OF RECREATION. In June, 1910, for the first time since the establishment of playgrounds under the Park Department in 1903, their administration was placed in the hands of a separate Bureau without the burden of manifold other duties. There were at that time the following playgrounds in operation : ~STAFP--- PARK MEN WOMEK Seward ........................................ 1 2 Tompkins Square .............................. 1 1 Hamilton Fish ................................ 1 1 St. Gabriel's ................................... 1 1 De Witt Clinton.. .............................. 1 1 Thomas Jefferson ............................. 1 1 East Seventeenth Street. ....................... 0 1 Corlears Hook ............................... 1 1 Hudson ....................................... 0 1 John Jay ...................................... 1 1 East River .................................... 0 1 Ryan .......................................... 0 1 Even before the close of school the attendance on these grounds, especially those in congested sections, was larger than was possible for the number of attendants to handle. At the close of school this condition became an impossible one and as the funds granted by the City authorities were not available until July 15, it was necessary either to close a few grounds in order to maintain properly those which remain open, or to secure help in some other may to avoid that unfortunate necessity. In this emergency a small fund was generously ~rovidedby the Parks and Playgrounds Association, which made it possible to supplement the existing staff by 14 men and women. Steps were taken at once to hold a non-competitive examination of candidates. A list of 78 names was sent to the Civil Service Board and from it appointments were made from time to time as necessity demanded. In accordance with plans agreed upon, in addition to the established playgrounds, play centers were opened in the following places: Fifty-ninth street and Amsterdam avenue-closed soon after opening. Cherry street-Closed soon after opening. PARKS. Battery. Central. Chelsea. East One Hundred and First Street. Highbridge. Jackson Square. Morningside. Mulberry Bend. Queensboro. Riverside. St. Nicholas. Westerleigh. The term " playground " like the term " park" has even yet an indefinite meaning. It is necessary to make careful dlstlnctlon between the following different types of play centers, all of which, though wldely differing in purpose and use, are grouped nevertheless under the term "plajground ": (A) Athletic Field. (B) Baseball Field. (C) Boys' Playground. (D) Girls' Playground. (E) Midget or Small Children's Playground. There are here three distinct types, serving different purposes, requiring different equipment and different administration, namely : (A)Athletic Field. These are for young men and boys over 14. The equipment on grounds already established consists of Gymnasium frames. Basket ball court. Running track. Jumping pit. Tennis court. In every case lockers, toilets, baths and water are essential and a seating stand desirable. (B) Baseball Field. VVhiIe it is difficult, if not impossible, to provide adequate baseball space in New Bronze Electric Light Standard, Riverside Drive and 72d Street, Given to City by Colonial Dames of America. York City, it is quite as possible as it is desi~atleto greatly increase the area devoted to the game without large expense. The equipment is slight, requiring Backstop. The screening of adjacent windows within the danger zone. Bleachers. (C) Boys' Playgrou~zd. , These are designed for boys under 14. They contain Swings. See-saws. Slides. Basket ball frame. Platform and open space ior general games. (D) Girls' Playground. These are designed for girls uhder 1d:and bbys under 8. They contain much the same equipment as on the boys' grounds, with more space for free games and with the addition of Sand boxes. Small swings: " Baby hammocks for the very small ch~ldren. (E) &'idget Playground. ! This is designed for children under 4. There are many places In the parks, as well as outside the parks, where mothers or maids gather wi.th their very small children, allo~vingthem to play how and where they will. Such gathering places are found in several sections of the city. The equipment of such midget grounds, containing the sand plle, small swings and hammocks, serves to meet the instincts of the small ch~ldren. Several of these features are In combination For example, there is a mldget playground in connection with the girls' side at Seward Park; the boys' playgrounds at Seward Park, Hamilton Fish and St Gabriel's are in combination with the athletic fields Tlie iirst of these combinations 1s a proper and satisfactory one. The second is not at all so. The smaller boys either are deprived of the use of their apparatus or are driven out by the athletics hnd thus find themselves w~thouta place of refuge other than the street. The following classification indicates rhe nature of the centers maintained by the Department during the summer of 1910, in accordance with the distinctioils thus -Baseball Fields- Athletic Fields.

    Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION

    Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes existing land use, zoning, and public policies applicable to the proposed project and evaluates potential significant adverse effects that may result from implementation of the proposed flood protection system. Potential significant adverse effects to land use as a result of implementing the flood protection system are also evaluated. Potential land use issues include known or likely changes in current land uses within the study area, as well as the proposed project’s potential effect on existing and future land use patterns. Potential zoning and public policy issues include the compatibility of the proposed project with existing zoning and consistency with existing applicable public policies. PROJECT AREA ONE Project Area One extends from Montgomery Street on the south to the north end of John V. Lindsay East River Park (East River Park) at about East 13th Street. Project Area One consists primarily of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt East River Drive (FDR Drive) right-of-way, a portion of Pier 42 and Corlears Hook Park as well as East River Park. The majority of Project Area One is within East River Park and includes four existing pedestrian bridges across the FDR Drive to East River Park (Corlears Hook, Delancey Street, East 6th Street, and East 10th Street Bridges) and the East Houston Street overpass. Project Area One is located within Manhattan Community District 3, and borders portions of the Lower East Side and East Village neighborhoods. PROJECT AREA TWO Project Area Two extends north and east from Project Area One, from East 13th Street to East 25th Street.

    Natural Resources Group Forest Restoration Team Planting Report Fall 2010

    Natural Resources Group Forest Restoration Team Planting Report Fall 2010 Dear Parkie, The Natural Resources Group (NRG) moved closer to our PlaNYC goal of planting over 400,000 trees throughout the city. This past fall we planted over 30,000 trees in 2 properties in all five boroughs. Our current tally stands at 222,188. Furthermore, we planted over 7,000 shrubs and over 4,000 herbaceous plants Our primary goal is to create and restore multi-story forests, bringing back the ecological richness of our region. Healthy multi-story forests provide cleaner air, cleaner water, and increased biodiversity. NRG again hosted the Million Trees volunteer day. Volunteers and Parks’ staff planted 21,806 trees altogether. Without volunteers and the support of the Agency, and our institutional and community partners, NRG would not reach its planting goals. Below is a summary of fall 2010. • Containerized trees planted by the Forest Restoration Team: 27,130 (2009: 26,139) • Containerized trees planted through contractors: 4,332 (2009: 9,652) • Balled & burlapped trees planted through contractors: 58 (2009: 267) • Containerized shrubs planted by the Forest Restoration Team: 5,701 (2009: 4,626) • Containerized shrubs planted through contractors: 1,492 (2009: 0) • Herbaceous plugs planted by the Forest Restoration Team: 4,540 (2009: 18,528) • Hosted 11 volunteer events with a total of 341 volunteers (2009: 32, 468) Sincerely, Tim Wenskus Deputy Director Natural Resources Group Total Plants Planted Trees 31,520 Shrubs 7,193 Herbaceous 4,540 Grand Total 43,253

    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.

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.

  • Chapter 4: Social Conditions

    Chapter 4: Social Conditions

    Chapter 4: Social Conditions A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This chapter addresses a variety of issues that support social conditions, including population and housing characteristics, community facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The discussion of social conditions considers the entire MESA study area (depicted in Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3, above) with particular focus on the project corridor—the routes proposed for the various project alternatives—where the greatest potential for change would occur. Because none of the project alternatives have the potential to change social conditions in the secondary study area, where Build Alternatives 1 and 2 would add service along an existing subway line, this analysis is of the primary study area only. The analysis was conducted by first compiling existing data for population and housing, com- munity facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The source for the population and housing data is the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. The inventory of community facilities is based on Community District Needs (1997) for Manhattan’s Community Boards, the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Property Lists (dated November 4, 1996), supplementary information provided by the various Community Boards within the study area, and the informa- tion gathered for the analysis of land use, zoning, and public policy in Chapter 3. The assessment of neighborhood character is based on information gathered for other chapters of this document, particularly including the analyses of land use (Chapter 3) and visual and aesthetic considerations (Chapter 6). After assessing the existing conditions in the study area, the expected changes in the future are considered, based on information compiled in Chapter 3.
