  • Why Courses Fail

    Why Courses Fail

    WHY COURSES FAIL Poor management policies and entrenched attitudes by golf course officials, combined with public need and private profiteering, usually force the end of a golf course by DOUGLAS LUTZ Envious eyes view golf's open green spreads as territory fertile for acquisition. As seen by the public sector, those prime lands that green the urban landscape unjustifiably support the sporting activities of only a handful of people. Better use could be made of these acreages. They could produce the much-needed income to help fill local govern- ment coffers; help ease the housing shortage; expand crowded college facilities or provide more macadam rib- bons to relieve traffic clogged highways. Private needs give way to public concerns; the few must move over for the many. Again and again the same story is told. The vulnerability of the golfing community lies in the inherent conflict between the private and public sectors. Ex- pansion is an American obsession, belied by hypocritical sentiment. Educational institutions extol the ideal of an edu- cation for everyone while unceremoniously acquiring pre- cious greenswards. The corporation, with a little help from industrial park promoters, dangles the lure of more jobs and less taxes, and ends the life of yet another golf course. Housing contractors, mindful of the housing shortage, bull- doze a once-venerable course, and build houses too expen- sive for most Americans. Highway departments insist more roads are needed to ease traffic-choked highways; slash across a fairway, thus creating more traffic. To all these special interest groups, the golf course repre- lasted two years, and Orchard Hills was gone forever.

    QUEENS Glen Oaks, Floral Park, New Hyde Park, CITY Bellerose, Oakland Gardens, Jamaica Estates, COUNCIL 2009 DISTRICT 23 Holliswood, Queens Village Parks are an essential city service. They are the barometers of our city. From Flatbush to Flushing and Morrisania to Midtown, parks are the front and backyards of all New Yorkers. Well-maintained and designed parks offer recreation and solace, improve property values, reduce crime, and contribute to healthy communities. SHOWCASE : Cunningham Park Until 2006 the City did not spe- cifically track crimes occurring on city parkland, and therefore no data was available to tell citizens about the safety of their parks. New Yorkers for Parks worked with the City Council and Mayor to pass legislation mandating the tracking of crime in the 20 largest parks, with the eventual goal of including every park. Cun- ningham Park is one of the initial 20 parks, and in our 2008 report, “Tracking Crime in NYC Parks,” we offer details on crime data Bellaire Playground, Holliswood collected in the park.

  • Making the Most of Our Parks

    Making the Most of Our Parks

    MAKING THE MOST OF OUR PARKS Citizens Budget Commission June 2007 New York’s Nonpartisan Voice for Effective Government Making the Most of Our Parks FOREWORD Founded in 1932, the Citizens Budget Commission (CBC) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan civic organization devoted to influencing constructive change in the finances and services of New York State and New York City governments. A major activity of the Commission is conducting research on the workings of municipal agencies and identifying ways to enhance their services and productivity. In 1991, the CBC, with the support of New York City Parks Council, analyzed management issues facing the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) at a time when the City was financially strained. The recommendations in that report helped set an agenda for the Parks Council’s advocacy and for reforms at the DPR. Since the 1991 report, fiscal conditions have improved remarkably, but management of the DPR has become increasingly complex. The proliferation of nonprofit park conservancies, changes in the composition of the workforce, and an expanded parks system pose both challenges and opportunities for improving the public’s benefit from the parks within New York City. At the request of New Yorkers for Parks (NY4P), the successor agency to the Parks Council and a civic organization committed to supporting the improvement of public parks, the CBC revisited the issue of how to best manage the municipal park system. The Robert Sterling Clark Foundation and the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors generously made grants to NY4P to help support this effort. The staff of NY4P, headed by Christian DiPalermo, played an important role in helping to facilitate the research, but the CBC is responsible for the findings and recommendations in this report.

Bloomberg Mayor of the City of New York Adrian Benepe Commissioner of Parks & Recreation Joanne G. Imohiosen Assistant Commissioner for Revenue Richard Murphy Borough Commissioner of Queens www.nyc.gov/parks Request For Proposals –Q411-R-GC Course Supplement: Douglaston July 2003 Page 1 of 4 COURSE BACKGROUND: DOUGLASTON GOLF COURSE Bounded by 61st Avenue, Commonwealth Boulevard, and 72nd Avenue, Douglaston Park lies on the site of the former North Hills Country Club Golf Course. The North Hills Golf Club selected this site in the Douglaston neighborhood for its rolling and scenic terrain. A father and son team of landscape architects, Willie Tucker Sr. and Jr., laid the 18-hole course, which opened on Labor Day 1927. The course featured an elegant Spanish Mission style clubhouse, which many consider to be architect Clifford C. Wendehack's finest work. Between 1962 and 1963, the City of New York purchased the 104.6 acres of property that comprise Douglaston Golf Course. Upon acquisition of the property, Parks assumed jurisdiction over the golf course. Today, Douglaston Park offers a public 18-hole golf course located approximately seventeen miles from midtown Manhattan. The course is designed for beginner to intermediate skill level players. The fairways are wide, tree-lined, and sloping.
