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

NYC Parks uses a Commercial Off-The-Shelf database for maintaining its concession-related data. In its raw form, the Parks data within the Yardi Voyager database has a convoluted structure, the majority of which is not being used by Parks to store any data. In an effort to make the data more user friendly, the multitude of tables used by the source database have been distilled into two that contain the essential information for a concessions database. One table (Parks Concessions) represents the concession asset – the place and thing which is being operated – and who holds the contract. The other (Parks Concession Transactions) represents transactions between those contract holders and NYC Parks. Parks Concessions is here https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Parks-Concessions/53m8-jdtg and can be joined to Parks Concession Transactions using PersonID, PropertyID and UnitID.

Supervisor Inspections are conducted by Park Supervisors in order to assess the conditions and identify issues at parks in their districts. Park Supervisors follow the standards set out in the Parks Inspection Program (PIP) Inspection Manual but are not trained in the protocol to the same degree as PIP inspectors, and supervisor inspections are not subject to the thorough review that PIP inspections receive.

During the course of an inspection, Park Supervisors separately rate each feature within a park. This table contains the features inspected, with ratings and notes for each feature.

Overall results and inspection-level records are contained in the Parks Supervisor Inspections - Inspection Results dataset; each row in this table represents one inspection of an individual property (park, playground, or zone).

Specific feature-level records are contained in the Parks Supervisor Inspections - Feature Findings dataset; each row in this table represents the specific feature's details/rating from each inspection.

Tasks are specific actions that are sub-components of a Work Order. Some work, such as that performed by in-house crews, require at least one task for the purposes of accounting for labor hours. Tasks are typically used to indicate remaining work for jobs that did not get completed in one session (1 day).

This dataset builds on the Walk to A Park Service Area (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Recreation/Walk-to-a-Park-Service-area/5vb5-y6cv) to provide a dataset that can be viewed as an on-line map or downloaded to support the preparation of an Open Space assessment pursuant to City Environment Quality Review Technical Manual. The data has been modified to ensure that if 50% or more of a tax lot is within a Walk to a Park Service area, then the entire lot is shown as served.

New York City, as part of the OneNYC 2050 Building a Strong and Fair City plan, has put forth a goal of 85 percent of New York City residents living within a walking distance of a park by 2030. The Walk to a Park initiative focuses on increasing access to parks and open spaces, concentrating on areas of the city that are under-resourced and where residents are living further than a walk to a park. NYC Parks calculates the number of New Yorkers within walking distance of a park and reports on this as part of the Mayor’s Management Report. “Walking distance” is defined as a 1/4-mile or less for sites such as small playgrounds and sitting areas; or a 1/2-mile or less for larger parks that serve a wider region, typically over 6 acres or with access to recreation center. Certain properties in NYC Parks' portfolio, such as cemeteries, community gardens, or sites with no recreational equipment were not included in this analysis. Similarly, some publicly accessible parks and open-space amenities not under the jurisdiction of NYC Parks were included in this analysis, as they provide recreational value.

This information is periodically updated and is only current as of the last publication date. The analysis is performed in part using secondary data. Data accuracy is limited by the scale and accuracy of the original sources.

• One line of data represents the location of a canine waste bag dispenser, including what surface it is mounted on, who refills it, who made it, and when it was installed.
• Data is collected by analysts located in each borough and collated by Parks’ Innovation & Performance Management team.
• Data is updated as needed using an ArcGIS Online web application.
• Records for dispensers that are no longer active have been removed
• Not all records have an installation date. Records will only have an OMPPropID and SubProperty name if they fall within the bounds of a sub property.
