Van Cortlandt Park Alliance - Advocating Against the Budget Cuts to Parks


Along with our friends at New Yorkers for Parks and City Parks Foundation, VCPA is part of a group called 

Parks & Open Space Partners (POSP) and is a member of the PlayFair coalition. 

 

Together, we are actively advocating for NYC Parks and for you. 

 

This past Monday, December 11, Parks advocates attended a New York City Council hearing opposing budget cuts. 

Our very own Christina Taylor presented on behalf of Van Cortlandt Park Alliance!

 

Council Member Shekar Krishnan railed against the cuts at the hearing.

 

Read about the dramatic reduction in staffing and cleaning under Mayor Adams’ budget cuts.

 

New Yorkers for Parks Executive Director, Adam Ganser, talked about the cuts this week on NY1.

 

In a dramatic turn, NYC's largest union, DC37, sues the Adams administration over the cuts. 

 

And, for a clear description of what to expect if the cuts are approved, read NY4P's Adam Ganser op-ed piece for City Limits that gives a concise overview.
