Record of Forestry tree points for NYC Parks & Recreation.

Tree Points and Planting Spaces form the basis of ForMS 2.0’s data inventory and are the core entities that all Service Requests, Inspections, and Work Orders are associated to. The system has built-in rules to ensure that every Tree Point has a Planting Space and each Planting Space can have no more than one active Tree Point at a given time. Locations that have had one tree removed and another tree replanted will appear in ForMS 2.0 as a single Planting Space associated with one retired Tree Point (that has a removal Work Order) and one active Tree Point.

This dataset can be joined to the Forestry Planting Spaces dataset by joining PlantingSpaceGlobalID from Forestry Tree Points to GLOBALID from Forestry Planting Spaces.

The NYC Parks Events Listing database is used to store event information displayed on the Parks website, nyc.gov/parks. There are seven related tables that make up the this database:

1. Events_Events table (This is the primary table that contains basic data about every event. Each record is an event.)
2. Events_Categories (Each record is a category describing an event. One event can be in more than one category.)
3. Events_Images (Each record is an image related to an event. One event can have more than one image.)
4. Events_Links (Each record is a link with more information about an event. One event can have more than one link.)
5. Events_Locations (Each record is a location where an event takes place. One event can have more than one location.)
6. Events_Organizers (Each record contains a group or person organizing an event. One event can have more than one organizer.)
7. Events_YouTube (Each record is a link to a YouTube video about an event. One event can have more than one YouTube video.)

The Events_Events table is the primary table. All other tables can be related by joining on the event_id. This data contains records from 2013 and on. For a complete list of related datasets, please follow This Link

Record of Forestry work orders for NYC Parks & Recreation.

Work Orders are used to record activities performed by Parks staff, contractors, other Agencies, or private entities in the case of permitted work. ForMS 2.0 requires that WOs can only be created from an Inspection, with the exception of a Debris Removal – Misc. Wood WO where the associated tree cannot always be determined.

This dataset can be joined to the Forestry Planting Spaces dataset by joining PlantingSpaceGlobalID from Forestry Work Orders to GLOBALID from Forestry Planting Spaces.

Location of paths or trails in designated Forever Wild areas of NYC Parks.

● One line of data represents a single geographic area for which an event permit can be requested in the Citywide Event Management System (CEMS).
● Data was digitized in desktop GIS in consultation with borough permit offices.
● Data is updated when changes are requested by the borough permit offices.
● Along with this dataset, the Athetlic Facilities dataset are sent to CEMS
● Spaces not outlined in this dataset are not available for permitting

This table is the primary table for information about work orders, and contains general information - including a description of the work, assigned title, request date and completion date - about each work order. Each row represents a single work order. The primary key field is EVT_CODE. The EVT_OBJECT field can be joined to the Assets table on OBJ_CODE to know which asset the work order was for.

A listing of the next two weeks of events taking place on NYC Parks properties that are open to the public.

The Schoolyards to Playgrounds initiative began with PlaNYC 2007 as a way to expand public use at existing City facilities and improve access to open spaces during non-school hours which includes weekends, holidays, and during the summer.

NYC Parks, in collaboration with the Department of Education (DOE) and the nonprofit Trust for Public Land have improved hundreds of DOE operated schoolyards through capital improvements, including play equipment, painted sports surfaces, trees, and benches.

The program is an important approach to reaching the city’s target to getting more New Yorkers within walking distance to open-space. In many neighborhoods, these DOE schoolyards are one of the few resources that can be improved and provide publicly accessible open space.

Each record in this dataset represents a participating DOE Schoolyard at the time of the dataset's publication. The schoolyard's boundaries have been drawn in whole or part using secondary data. Data accuracy is limited by the scale and accuracy of the original sources. Site-specific conditions should be field-verified.

For more information on the Schoolyard to Playgrounds program, visit: https://www.nycgovparks.org/greening/planyc/schoolyards

This dataset may be updated throughout the year as school's join or exit the program.

Recreational facilities in New York City Department of Parks & Recreation properties that are accessible to the disabled.

CPI Zones are neighborhoods where NYC Parks pursued a combination of capital investment and/or targeted physical improvements, enhanced programming, and public outreach efforts through the Community Parks Initiative launched in 2014. CPI Zones were boundaries based on the NYC Department of City Planning's Neighborhood Tabulation Areas. These NTAs were selected as they capture neighborhoods that met several criteria for the initiative. They are densely populated and growing neighborhoods where there are higher-than-average concentrations of poverty as measured through the 2010 US Census, and they contain parks that are suitable for recreational redevelopment and received less than $250,000 in capital investment from 1992-2013.
