Convening

NY4P collaborates with a multitude of organizations every year, from NYC Parks to corporate professionals to grassroots community groups. 

As the citywide champion for open spaces, we strive to regularly bring people with diverse perspectives and backgrounds together to discuss the issues that impact our parks and open spaces in New York City. 

We facilitate discussions and utilize our network to connect individuals and organizations together in order to better build on each other’s work, provide advice and expertise, and join together for a common purpose.

The Boro x Boro series consisted of annual meetings in each borough with community groups, open space advocates, and people passionate about parks to focus on turning ideas into action steps, networking, sharing best practices, and creating plans to work together to create maximum impact.

Our 2018 Boro x Boro At-A-Glance report has key takeaways from our meetings with 190+ community groups and individuals representing every corner of the city. The main recurring concern was the lack of adequate funding for parks maintenance and operations.
