Support Your Park
New York City's parks provide more than eight million New Yorkers with an escape from their urban environment. They are places of beauty and tranquility, where individuals and families have the opportunity to absorb some of nature's benefits; they are places to listen to world famous orchestras and operas, and to participate in tennis, baseball, ice skating, and golf; and they are places for children and families to play in the sand, swim in the ocean or pool, or run around a track.
New York City Parks & Recreation maintains nearly 29,000 acres of greenspace or 14% of New York City's total land area. The city's parkland includes 14 miles of beaches, 800 athletic fields, nearly 1,000 playgrounds, 550 tennis courts, 66 swimming pools and 35 recreation centers. We care for more than 1,200 monuments and 22 historic houses. All these greenspaces and facilities add immensely to the quality of life in New York. We are dedicated to maintaining and improving these havens throughout the five boroughs, and we could use your help. Please join us in Supporting Your Park!
