List of New York City parks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of parks in New York City.
There are three entities that manage parks within New York City. Each agency has its own responsibilities for its own parks. The three agencies are as follows:
Federal
US National Park Service (NPS) - both open-space and historic properties
State
New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSP)
Municipal
New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR)
Additionally, some parks, most notably Gramercy Park, are privately owned and managed. Access to these private parks may be restricted.
