The Challenge
NYC Parks are Underfunded
New York City directs only 0.55% of its annual expense budget to 29,000 acres of NYC Parks.
Downtown Manhattan is Park Starved
The NYC standard for open space is 2.5 acres per 1,000 residents and downtown Manhattan is well below this standard. Manhattan Community Board 2 and Manhattan Community Board 3 have open space ratios of 0.58 and 0.66 acres per 1,000 residents, respectively.
