Sponsored by New Yorkers for Parks and the Play Fair Coalition

Presented by New York Law School 

Monday,  April 19

RSVP

Join New Yorkers for Parks and the Play Fair Coalition – and its 300+ parks advocates across the city – for a conversation with New York City mayoral candidates on the future of NYC’s parks and open spaces and the policies we need to create a 21st century, equitable system.

It’s been a year of highs and lows. Though New Yorkers turned out in unprecedented numbers for their parks during the pandemic, citywide conditions reached a low point as the Parks Department struggled to weather an $80 million budget cut.

Now is the time for New York to prioritize parks as critical infrastructure. We need a bold, new vision from our next Mayor – to realize a new era in which all New Yorkers enjoy equitable access to safe and clean parks in their communities.

Invited Candidates

• Eric Adams
• Art Chang

• Ray McGuire
• Dianne Morales
• Scott Stringer
• Maya Wiley
