Parks

On the campaign trail, Zohran Mamdani vowed to roughly double the funding for the parks department. His first budget proposal as mayor would cut its funding.

The quiet corner of the park is well known to birdwatchers, but fell into disrepair after years of neglect.

Washington Square Park seems to be filled with people who have a bad case of "main character syndrome" these days.

The announcement comes as the mayor faces criticism from parks advocates who say he’s underfunded parks in his proposed budget.

Parks department officials shrank the planned size of the so-called Skate Garden after locals raised concerns about its impact on the green space.

The lower speed limit, which was imposed by Mayor Eric Adams, prompted a lawsuit.

The mayor now says he's committed to making parks 1% of the city budget by the end of his term.

Many of New York City's beloved street trees struggled to hold up under the blizzard.

“It looks like a snowball fight," Mamdani said. But did it?
