Both Levine and Silver will be participating in the upcoming 2015 Partnerships for Parks Conference on Saturday, April 11, where residents can learn about volunteering and fundraising strategies.
City Parks Foundation. Heather Lubov, executive director
"I think you always want community support for your park, no matter how well-funded the maintenance for those parks," she said. "If you have an interested community, you have a well-cared for park."
Just launched our newest initiative, the Five Borough Crew, to provide on-site support and training in ten parks throughout all five boroughs to NYC Parks Department graduates of our turf training program.
The sites include Macombs Dam Park/Heritage Field, Crotona Park, and Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx; Fort Greene Park and Brower Park in Brooklyn; Bennett Park and East River Park in Manhattan; Tappen Park and Walker Park in Staten Island; and
Astoria Park in Queens.
'The Parks Department is where you can spend a relatively small amount and affect a lot of people.'
- CM Mr. Levine

Astoria, N.Y. - Residents of the 22nd Council District will have the opportunity to vote on how to spend $1 Million on projects throughout the neighborhood. They will get to choose their favorite five out of a ballot of eighteen project proposals.
A sample of the finalized ballot was introduced today (click to see ballot).
[PDF]
Project Expos: February-March 2015 Delegates present draft project proposals to the community and get feedback, with which they revise the projects.
Community Vote: March-April 2015 Residents vote on which projects to fund at voting sites throughout the district.VOTE the week of April 13 - 19
Implementation & Monitoring: April 2015 onwards
The Council Members submit their spending priorities to the City Council’s Finance Division, including the winning PB projects, for inclusion in the City budget. Community members evaluate the process, and oversee the implementation of projects.
Research and Evaluation happens throughout these stages,
to improve the process for next year.
The New York City Council seeks more thorough reporting on how private conservancies help the public park system thrive. We've made the case for more data sharing and data analysis, across conservancy-aided parks and other parks, to get at the true cost of making parks surpass expectations. Tupper Thomas gave this testimony on the issue at a January 29 hearing.
'The city would need to partner in this reporting, by providing similar numbers on its spending in each park. This would help clarify what it takes to fund operations and programming, as well as what would be necessary to keep all parks as well-maintained as the ones we are looking at today.'
