Everyone deserves access to high-quality public green space. NYRP works collaboratively with residents in communities across the five boroughs to renovate gardens, restore parks, plant trees, promote urban agriculture, and build partnerships that transform the city’s landscape. We value the unique experiences, knowledge, and resources that each community member brings to our work. We are committed to creating a greener, more resilient city for all.
NYRP is the primary steward of over 80 acres of Northern Manhattan green space across Highbridge Park, Sherman Creek Park, and the Harlem River Greenway.
Read MoreMore than 1.6 million New Yorkers live within a 10-minute walk of a NYRP green space. This includes more than 50 community gardens that we own and operate throughout all five boroughs.
Read MoreSince NYRP’s Gardens for the City program began over a decade ago, we have built or completely renovated over 300 green spaces throughout New York City. This includes 15 new gardens in 2024 alone, with at least one in every borough.
Read MoreDespite incurring lower expenses in FY 2024 as compared to FY 2023, the absence of a significant amount of one-time revenue and slowdown in post-pandemic philanthropic funding resulted in a net deficit for the year. NYRP continues to take measures to decrease expenses and increase revenue. Our commitment to ensuring that all New Yorkers have access to nature is unwavering.
