  • Departmentof Parks
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTOF PARKS BOROUGH OF THE BRONX CITY OF NEW YORK JOSEPH P. HENNESSY, Commissioner HERALD SQUARE PRESS NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF PARKS BOROUGH OF 'I'HE BRONX January 30, 1922. Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor, City of New York. Sir : I submit herewith annual report of the Department of Parks, Borough of The Bronx, for 1921. Respect fully, ANNUAL REPORT-1921 In submitting to your Honor the report of the operations of this depart- ment for 1921, the last year of the first term of your administration, it will . not be out of place to review or refer briefly to some of the most important things accomplished by this department, or that this department was asso- ciated with during the past 4 years. The very first problem presented involved matters connected with the appropriation for temporary use to the Navy Department of 225 acres in Pelham Bay Park for a Naval Station for war purposes, in addition to the 235 acres for which a permit was given late in 1917. A total of 481 one- story buildings of various kinds were erected during 1918, equipped with heating and lighting systems. This camp contained at one time as many as 20,000 men, who came and went constantly. AH roads leading to the camp were park roads and in view of the heavy trucking had to be constantly under inspection and repair. The Navy De- partment took over the pedestrian walk from City Island Bridge to City Island Road, but constructed another cement walk 12 feet wide and 5,500 feet long, at the request of this department, at an expenditure of $20,000.

A River Runs Through It: Community Access to the Bronx River in Tremont and Hunts Point Matthew Bodnar May 2011 Rivers that run through urban areas are often neglected and forgotten. This is because the primary services that they provide for major cities are transportation and shipping. Many urban waterways have become polluted as a result and fail to reach much of their potential. New York City’s rivers and waterfronts are not typically a place where people seek recreation in the form of swimming or boating, except for a few places such as Coney Island, City Island, and Rockaway Beach. Other waterways that could be assets for their communities are also sometimes overlooked. After living in the Bronx for three years, the only knowledge that I had about the Bronx River was that it ran through the forest in the Botanical Gardens.

  • Natural Area Mapping and Inventory of Crotona Park 2011 Survey
    Natural Area Mapping and Inventory of Crotona Park 2011 Survey Prepared by: City of New York Parks & Recreation Forestry, Horticulture, and Natural Resources Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor Veronica M. White, Commissioner Crotona Park Natural Area Mapping & Inventory Surveyed 2011 133.51 acres Introduction The City of New York Parks & Recreation (Parks) manages one of the most extensive and varied parks systems of any city in the world. These 29,000 acres of city park property occupy about 15 percent of New York City’s total area. In addition to flagship parks such as Central Park and Prospect Park, the city’s parklands include over 11,000 acres of natural areas. Until the 1980’s, Parks was primarily concerned with developed landscapes and recreation facilities rather than natural areas. In the absence of a comprehensive management policy, these areas succumbed to invasive species, pollution and erosion. In 1984, Parks established the Natural Resources Group (NRG) with a mandate to acquire, restore, and manage natural areas in New York City. The wetlands, forests, meadows, and shorelines under Parks’ jurisdiction provide valuable habitat for hundreds of species, from rare wildflowers to endangered birds of prey. To facilitate the protection, management and restoration of natural areas, NRG began an inventory of parkland using entitation, a process of identifying and describing ecologically distinct plant communities (or entities). Entitation Originally designed for European landscapes, the system was revised by NRG in 1985 for use in urban parkland. This method of inventory was chosen because it is well suited to the patchy environments often found in urban areas.
