Even when school’s out, our parks are still the city’s natural classroom! Bring your kids to parks throughout the city for Kids Week during mid-Winter Recess. With programs led by our Urban Park Rangers, kids will get to experience nature in a hands-on and fun way. Learn all about the geological landscape of Manhattan.
The arrival of Spring means it’s time to get our garden in order. Help us clean up our garden beds as we create space for bees, birds and other species. Learn more about the ways pollinator species help plants flourish in our parks.
Tell your friends about this opportunity to learn about available positions at the agency. We will have representatives from divisions such as Recreation, Maintenance & Operations, Parks Enforcement, and more! We will also have representatives from other city agencies.
This event is free and open to the public.
