Join @ny4p.bsky.social, elected officials and partners for Daffodil Project & Pollinator Day a celebration of community, nature, and local parks. Free community event! Harlem: Sat, Sept 20 St. Nicholas Ave Open Street between W 116th St & W 117th St

All I take from this is that NYC needs more streets and sidewalks designed for people to walk at various speeds, including as slowly as they want or are able to. It’s the infrastructure, not the people. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/n...

@ny4p.bsky.social joins in declaring that NYC needs universal daylighting now. Increasing visibility at intersections saves lives, makes it safer to access parks & playgrounds, and creates space for greenery + stormwater capture — real climate infrastructure. Pass #Intro1138 this session. 🌱🚦🌳

Indicted former Mayor Adams advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin had nothing to say about McGuinness Blvd. when I asked her as she left court this morning.

1. You're not even safe from cars when you're inside a restaurant eating. 2. They weren't "involved in a crash" anymore than someone hit by a stray bullet was "involved in a shooting."

Lupita Nyong’o biked straight into Shakespeare in the Park. 🎭🚲 Art + parks + bikes = 🤩 Check out @PublicTheaterNY beautiful production of Twelfth Night! publictheater.org/productions/...

The new greenway plan is a great thing - @nyc-dot.bsky.social staff did a nice job BUT multiple maps showing a greenway *thru* Coney Island 🤔 Could be legalese about "defined" greenways, but generations have awaited the city actually doing a greenway on the multi-lane hellhole AKA Neptune Ave

At today’s press conference, we celebrated the release of NYC’s first Greater Greenways master plan in 30+ years. Thank you @NYC_DOT @NYCParks @NYCEDC @CMCarlinaRivera @CMBrooksPower The NYC Greenways Coalition @NYCgreenways advocated for this for years! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Enjoyed pastries sitting outside on Montague St and loved the changes I saw. Exciting improvements for pedestrians and small business: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow... Share your feedback: [email protected] TY @cmrestler.bsky.social

After Summer Streets last weekend, we hit several playgrounds and parks. Whether they’re @nycparks.bsky.social or public-private, they make our city more fun, affordable, connected and healthy. Hudson River Park @RiversideParkNY

Can you find the pedestrian signal here to cross safely at Borinquen Pl.and Rodney St next to @nycparks.bsky.social Blue Playground, the BQE + @BrooklynArbor school? I called 311 to report this but we must fund our parks system so that trees in our parks + on our streets can be properly maintained.

‪New Yorkers for Parks @ny4p.bsky.social recently joined the Stop the Cross Bronx Expansion Coalition. We need parks, not pollution! ‬

Acres of public land under the Queensboro Bridge in LIC, once home to Queensbridge Baby Park, is now used for city agency storage and parking. Sign our petition with @cmjuliewon.bsky.social, @sengonzalezny.bsky.social and allies to reclaim Baby Park and expand open space: bit.ly/qbbabypark

@ny4p.bsky.social is proud to stand w/ @donovanrichards.bsky.social @nycgovparks.org + the Rockaway community. Today’s $26M investment in the future Arverne East Aquatics Ctr is about equity, safety, access. We must also fund/maintain the pools we already have so every New Yorker can swim safely.

Bring back Baby Park in Long Island City! Sign the new @ny4p.bsky.social + CM Julie Won petition to reclaim and transform the public land under the Queensboro Bridge & ramps! Already 137 signers since we soft launched the petition yesterday! secure.ny4p.org/a/queensbrid...

Honored to receive a proclamation tonight from @phara4assembly.bsky.social recognizing my work at @transalt.org @tabk.bsky.social to improve street safety in AD57 in partnership with her office. Grateful to the neighbors, volunteers whose collective power made change possible.

Council Member @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social supports the Red Hook neighbors calling on Mayor Adams and @nycparks.bsky.social to open the Red Hook Pool asap, restore the swim programs and fund our pools and recreation centers. Sign the @ny4p.bsky.social petition if you agree: bit.ly/redhookpool

Community members are at Red Hook Pool to speak with CBS News about the need to open Red Hook Pool and invest in our pools and recreation centers, which are crumbling across the city. @nycparks.bsky.social Sign our @ny4p.bsky.social petition to support at bit.ly/redhookpool

After @katiehonan.bsky.social covered the Red Hook Pool issue and the @ny4p.bsky.social supported petition, we got many other inquiries. Red Hook leaders like tenant assoc. pres Karen Blondel and neighbors who use Red Hook pool like my family spoke to @fox5ny. Watch here: youtu.be/l5mZQiKnZfw?...

Shout out to @thecity.nyc @katiehonan.bsky.social for shining the light on this equity issue. We @ny4p.bsky.social launched a petition with Friends of RH Pool @BrooklynCB6 to open the pool, restore programs + fund @nycparks.bsky.social recreation centers citywide. secure.ny4p.org/a/let-red-ho...

Representing 14% of NYC land, our parks system should be built and maintained as if they are the frontlines of climate action—soaking up stormwater, cooling neighborhoods, and protecting against rising seas. @rebuildbydesign: rebuildbydesign.org/nyc-parks-as...

“Advocacy is needed for our parks, playground and street trees.” It was great to hear from Isak Mendes, Deputy Director, Greenthumb of @nycgovparks.org at this screening. A fully funded parks system supports NYC’s 550 community gardens! Reach out to me at [email protected] to learn how.

We @ny4p.bsky.social were happy to join @cmjuliewon.bsky.social in calling on the City to transform the 370,000 sq. ft of city-owned lots under the Queensboro Bridge and ramps into community open space!

As a member of the Rise to Resilience Coalition, @ny4p.bsky.social asks Flushing Meadows Corona Park users to fill out the @OurWaterfront survey: bit.ly/3U2Y0IF U can also join below events to shape plans for cap projects that support flood and extreme heat resilience in the park.

Happy Summer from Astoria Pool, NYC! The last day of school was on Thursday and an additional 1 million public school students and their families will be enjoying our parks + pools every day this summer. We expect our parks system to do so much and should fund them accordingly.

The letter that those of us on the transportation, mobility and open space advisory group, including @NY4P, is cited in the articles about the state of the BMT project. Read to learn more! brooklyneagle.com/articles/202...

“We can’t support any plan that does not address our community’s severe car and truck congestion, dire lack of mass transit, open space inequities, and flooding vulnerabilities,” members of Transpo, Mobility and Open Space AG wrote in a letter in April. brooklyneagle.com/articles/202...

Hoboken beats us in bathrooms, too. Why WHY can’t we have Portland Loo bathrooms all over NYC, especially in our parks where the majority of NYC’s public bathrooms are located? Any updates here? www.thecity.nyc/2023/02/27/p...

New Yorkers en route to New Jersey for resiliency inspo. @ny4p.bsky.social co-hosted a resiliency tour in Hoboken w @rebuildbydesign.bsky.social We invited Play Fair Coalition members to learn how the city reduced flooding by up to 88% while creating incredible public spaces.

Fyi Chris, I was influencing parks policy before I was at @ny4p.bsky.social ✌🏽But sure, will be creeping up…

‪Was happy to join 4th anniversary event of @ForestforAllNYC's work to advance a citywide goal of reaching 30% tree canopy cover equitably by 2035! ‬ @ny4p.bsky.social is proud to be a part of the Forest for All NYC Coalition. ‬ ‪forestforall.nyc/our-coalition/‬

City Council is holding a hearing on public safety in parks and members of the Play Fair coalition will be testifying in person or in writing for urgently needed restoration of funding for our Parks Enforcement Patrol (PEP) officers. 6/23, 10 AM council.nyc.gov/testify/

City council finance committee chair @justinbrannan.bsky.social amplified the need for fully funded NYC parks at @prospect_park soirée last night. We need to see $79.4 million restored in the FY26 budget being finalized right now. @NY4P

We lost the @nyliberty game 😢🗽but we won @shakeshack Shackburgers 🍔 TY #goodcobikeclub

Attended tonight’s community-led action to save the Bedford Ave protected bike lane, which has made the street safer for everyone. The mayor’s illegal and illegitimate plan to rip out the safety improvement has been halted…a big win for safety in Bed-Stuy and beyond. @jabaribrisport.bsky.social

Help save NYC parks. With the June 30 budget deadline fast approaching and budget negotiations underway, sign our new petition to restore NYC Parks funding in next year’s city budget. bit.ly/fundparks25

You heard them. EVERY candidate on stage committed to increasing NYC parks funding to atleast 1% of the city’s budget. “What is your favorite park or playground and would you commit atleast 1% of the city’s budget to Parks?” - @katiehonan.bsky.social

Do any of the NYC mayoral candidates besides Brad Lander have a parks & open space platform? Researching… landerfornyc.com/parks

Happy to be in Fort Greene Park to get the word out about two amazing leaders! Let’s re-elect @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social and @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social! Two champions for an equitable, thriving Brooklyn! Election Day is June 24 and early voting starts June 14th.
