Partnerships for Parks works to increase community support for and involvement in parks throughout New York City. Founded in 1995, Partnerships works to start, strengthen, and support neighborhood park groups; to link these groups together so that they can learn from each other and be stronger collectively; and to promote parks in general so people will join in efforts to restore and preserve them.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in our survey. For more information about Parks' facilities and programs, please call the City's information line at 311.
