A Little-Known Reason for Disparities in New York’s Parks [NYTimes]

A Little-Known Reason for Disparities in New York’s Parks

www.nytimes.com

With many smaller capital projects, the parks department is often constrained by the preferences of City Council members and borough presidents.

...

“No park system has all the money it wants to fix up everything, but New York’s parks have had a level of investment that dwarfs that of some other cities put together,” Mr. Benepe said.

Others insist that in a system with 1,700 parks, more capital financing is needed.

“Compared to other boroughs, we did O.K.,” said Mr. Spiegel, the retired parks official in Brooklyn. “But when you scratch below the surface, there are serious infrastructure problems.”
