Parks Sites for Beginners:
Links to web sites that together offer a good introduction.
Project for Public Spaces -- Urban Parks online
NYC Department of Parks and Recreation
It’s easy to look up any park location, facility, program, or event at this site. You can also take a "virtual tour" (actually, more words than pictures) of important parks in each borough; read about department news and events in the "Daily Plant;" and print or submit park permits and applications, including a request for a street tree.
Neighborhood Open Space Coalition
Among the areas covered by this longtime advocate for New York City open space are greenways, community gardens, parks, the waterfront, and Gateway National Park. Subscribe here free to the electronic Urban Outdoors Bulletin, an excellent source of park news.
