After 40 years of chronic underfunding, the City is once again cutting the budget for Parks - a move that will have devastating impacts on communities across Brooklyn.
The current budget cut - $55 million and 900 staff - places Brooklyn parks and open spaces at risk, with necessary services like basic maintenance and trash management greatly reduced or eliminated.
Calling on the City to dedicate at least 1% of the budget annually to provide Brooklyn parks with the necessary funding and support they deserve.
Brooklyn's parks serve as critical living infrastructure, forums for democracy and opportunity, and places of healing and community building, essential for improving health outcomes and community vibrancy.
