And $750,000 will go toward a neighborhood parks equity fund, a down payment on efforts to even the playing field with parks in affluent areas that benefit from well-financed conservancies.
“Addressing park inequities begins with the public budget,” said Tupper Thomas, executive director of New Yorkers for Parks, an advocacy group, who called the increase “a great start.”
