In order to appropriately manage City parks and allocate resources, NYC Parks has implemented three tiers of management [below the Borough level]. These three tiers can be represented as administrative geographic boundaries and are defined below:

District - One or more parks that are combined and generally align with New York City Community Boards.

Sector - One or more Park Districts that are combined in order share resources for daily maintenance.

Region - One or more Park Sectors that are combined and assigned a regional managers who provides high-level, strategic planning and support for Parks managers, including maximizing resources between Districts and Sectors.

Entitation is a process of identifying and describing discrete vegetation units (entities). Essentially, it is a general inventory of an area's plant communities conducted by means of aerial photograph interpretation and field reconnaissance. The survey results in the identification of ecologically distinct plant communities based on species and structure.

The main dataset containing data describing each distinct vegetation community.

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.

This dataset represents amenities activated as a part of Cool It! NYC, a Citywide plan to increase the amount of cooling features available to the public during heat emergencies, particularly in neighborhoods that face the dangers of high heat. This is part of the Cool It! NYC 2020 Data Collection, which includes the following amenities:

Drinking Fountains: Indicates whether a drinking fountain is activated, not yet activated, broken, or under construction.

Spray Showers: Indicates whether a spray shower installed before July 2020 is activated, not yet activated, broken, or under construction. At this time, spray showers are mapped to the middle of parks.

Cooling Sites: To measure neighborhoods that are the most at risk during extreme heat, NYC Health and Columbia University developed the New York City Heat Vulnerability Index, or HVI. Parks used this data to direct new cooling elements to neighborhoods with HVIs of 4 and 5.

Nature Centers in New York City Department of Parks & Recreation properties.

This data contains the payroll information for a subset of the NYC Parks responsible for park cleaning & maintenance, and was used to produce the FY2016 and FY2017 reports on Park Maintenance as required by Administrative Code 18-144. This report can be accessed at https://www.nycgovparks.org/news/archive. Data accuracy is limited by the scale and accuracy of the original sources.

This dataset contains information about Park Opportunity Program (POP), a service offered by the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) aimed at getting New Yorkers in the workforce for six months to clean and green DPR’s parks, playgrounds and other facilities citywide. Each row in the dataset represents the number of public housing residents on a Borough-level who receive or utilize this service.

For datasets related to other services provided to NYCHA residents, view the data collection “Services available to NYCHA Residents - Local Law 163”.”

One row of data represents a physical Sign (its location and attributes) that was surveyed or installed by NYC Parks. Data is collected and udpated on an ongoing basis per updates to signage policies, seasonal upgrades, and one-off requests. Some limitations to the data: missing photos of installed signs, occasional shifting of Points (geometry) surveyed by GIS and that NOT ALL SIGNS THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ARE CURRENTLY CAPTURED IN THIS DATASET.

This dataset contains ratings for inspected property features. Each row represents a rating for a single feature.

Outdoor pools in New York City Department of Parks & Recreation properties.

During the Covid-19 response, NYC Parks deployed Social Distance Ambassadors (SDAs) across NYC parks to educate patrons on social distancing. This dataset contains encounters and non-encounters during deployment recorded by these SDAs.

This is part of the NYC Parks Covid-19 Social Distancing and Enforcement Data Collection: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/browse?Data-Collection_Data-Collection=NYC+Parks+Covid-19+Social+Distancing+and+Enforcement&q=nyc+parks+covid

Data Dictionary:

This dataset includes structures within NYC Parks properties. Structures are broadly defined as "an assembly of materials forming construction for occupancy or use."

One line of data is a structure. The dataset contains fields that are maintained by multiple agencies including NYC Parks, NYC DoITT, and NYC Planning. Where possible, updated values are pulled from authoritative sources and updated weekly - for more details about specific fields and where they come from please see https://github.com/NYCParks-data/Structures/wiki.

The System ID and BIN (Building Identification Number) are both required fields.

The Geosupport table is a related table that has information about addresses for these structures. A separate table was necessary because there is a one-to-many relationship between structures and addresses (i.e., one structure can have more than one address).

A known limitation to this dataset is that functions other than 'comfort station' can and should be attributed to many of the structures. This information will eventually live and be maintained in a related table where all the functions of individual structures can be seen.

In order to appropriately manage City parks and allocate resources, NYC Parks has implemented three tiers of management [below the Borough level]. These three tiers can be represented as administrative geographic boundaries and are defined below:

District - One or more parks that are combined and generally align with New York City Community Boards.
