The Trust for Public Land has just released a new report on the Economic Benefits of Parks in New York City. The historic report quantifies benefits of the network of city, state, and federal parks in New York City (NYC). The report finds parks in NYC provide significant benefits to residents and the city as a whole, and that NYC’s identity is intertwined with the park system, and the vitality of one affects the other. By offering a fuller picture of economic benefits, this report equips local decision-makers with quantifiable support to help fund, protect, create, and maintain the city’s parks for the use of current and future residents and visitors. USL’s Timon McPhearson served as a Lead Advisor on the study. To read the full report click here.
