Gardens & Parks

We steward over 50 parks and community gardens throughout all five boroughs.

NYRP is the only citywide conservancy focused on New York’s underserved neighborhoods. We work across all five boroughs in community gardens, public parks, and partner spaces including schools, public housing developments, vacant lots, and even sidewalks.

Our Map

NYRP–NYC Parks

For over 30 years, NYRP has partnered with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to restore, care for, and program parkland in Northern Manhattan. These parks are owned by the City, and NYRP helps maintain them, so they remain vibrant, welcoming green spaces for all.

NYRP Community Gardens

NYRP Community Gardens are community gardens owned and operated by NYRP as part of our land trust. Permanently protected from development and cared for with local gardeners, these spaces are open to the public and serve as neighborhood hubs for a range of activities including growing food, gathering, and connecting with nature.

Renovation Project Partners

NYRP has also designed and renovated green spaces across New York City with community partners through our Gardens for the City program. These sites—at schools, libraries, urban farms, and more—are not owned or operated by NYRP but represent places we’ve helped transform into thriving green spaces.
