Important NYC Parks Service Changes Due to the Winter Storm
Updated: Tuesday, January 27 at 12:30 p.m.
New York City parks are open as of 11:00 a.m. today, Tuesday, January 27.
We continue to urge caution in parks under wintry conditions: parks paths can be slippery, snow cover can cover frozen lakes and bodies of water, and branches may have fallen.
We urge people to stay out of parks and proceed with caution on tree-lined sidewalks in the event of falling trees or branches. To report downed trees or branches, please call 311. In case of emergency, please call 911.
Closures
- Zoos will be closed for clean up, and will open tomorrow at normal hours.
- Ice skating rinks will be closed today for clean up. They will open tomorrow with normal hours.
- Other NYC Parks concessions will open at their discretion.
NYC Parks advises New Yorkers to avoid using parks until Wednesday morning, when we will provide an update on park conditions.

Attention Astoria Park Users: The park is so beautiful in the snow, but blizzard conditions will greatly increase the risk of falling tree limbs!
Please keep yourself, your children, and your pets safe. Stay tuned to a reputable weather source, and wait until the storm is over. Also, post-storm, the Park Rangers will identify dangerous areas with yellow tape. Please avoid dangerous and icy areas. Your safety is most important to us!

If you haven't done so, make sure your emergency supply kits are stocked. Here's what you should include: http://t.co/tDgYI7x65A

Go Bag
Every household should pack a Go Bag — a collection of items you may need in the event of an evacuation. A Go Bag should be packed in a sturdy, easy-to-carry container such as a backpack or suitcase on wheels. A Go Bag should be easily accessible if you have to leave your home in a hurry. Make sure it is ready to go at all times of the year.
Totally mesmerizing. Can we make it our screensaver? Map depicting winds as Juno approaches: http://t.co/tD9a0Ei5ZK h/t @DrShepherd2013

Please love your parks from a safe distance for the next couple of days. When @NYCParks close to people, they're cooperating with snow.
