@thequeenslink No, this should be a pedestrian and biking zone only. For the love of GOD, do not kill these mature trees and growth. Birds live here, and navigate Queens using this green belt. @NYCParks @NYC_DOT @NYCPlanning @QueensWayNYC @QueensGreenway #ParksEquity #ClimateCrisis #Earth
@TreesNewYork @KraneShares The size of a single parking spot versus a tree bed is absolutely comical and outright depressing. I’m also a Street Tree Care Captain, and the amount of land just for parked cars is deflating. @NYCParks @NYC_DOT #ParksEquity #EarthDay2022 #ClimateEmergency @NYCMayor
Here is the link. "Commentary: LA's asphalt-covered schoolyards are an environmental injustice." https://t.co/MBvIwxrfnA @NYCParks #parksequity
L.A.’s asphalt-covered schoolyards are an environmental injustice..."too many children are forced to learn and play in paved-over, fenced-in and often treeless campuses that draw apt comparisons to prison yards or parking lots" also check out @NYCParks #parksequity for examples.
@NYCMayorsOffice and @NYCParks allocates $425 million to expand the Award winning Community Parks Initiative to 100 parks in underserved communities. This is big news for #parksequity and many #NYC neighborhoods that hadn't seen investment in 2 decades.

Another spectacular ribbon-cutting. Thanks to the landscape architects on @nycparks #Queens Capital Team, this neglected playground and handball wall, neglected for 2 decades, is now a work of art.

Faber Park, a #ParksWithoutBorders project, is open. And it's stunning. @NYCParks #StatenIsland #nycparks #parksequity #EarthDay
Stories like this about Pelham Parkway only reinforce the need for #ParksEquity & for Parks be funded properly. When Central Park Conservancy has a $80M budget while PP can’t get proper trash pickup & Pelham Bay roads are terrible. You have to ask ❓

Cut a ribbon today at Chappetto Square in #Astoria #Queens. Transformed this asphalt playground into 4 colorful equa-volleyball courts and lots of seating. Funded by the @NYCMayorsOffice Community Parks Initiative. #parksequity @nycparks @drichardsqns @costa4ny
Parks funding is an equity issue. Low- and moderate-income neighborhoods rely so much on public green space, but can't raise big private $ to support it.
We need a robust Park Dept budget to ensure *every* park has great maintenance, gardening, staffing etc. #ParksEquity
In my first term I chaired the City Council parks committee. I fought for the right of every neighborhood to have quality green space, and advanced #ParksEquity by securing millions of $ for neglected parks in low-income areas. 5/
My most joyful moments is when @NYCParks completes a capital project. Welcome to Bill “Bojangles” Robinson Playground. A transformed public space in #Harlem with a picture perfect mural. The playground is now open. Tap shoes are optional. #parksequity #parks

Income, race are associated with disparities in access to green spaces based on study of Columbus, OH and Atlanta.

"Make open streets the new normal," says @RobinMazumder. "Closure of public spaces will disproportionately affect the poor, those who may not have access to private outdoor space." #ParksEquity https://t.co/BNmD4nR9QP
We must discuss parks and outdoor access through the frameworks of equity and inclusion, says Parks Now founding member @JoseBilingue. Otherwise, park closures will take a disproportionate toll on the communities that need them the most. #ParksEquity https://t.co/PFG9SCKxul
