Partnerships for Parks Turns 25!




Celebrate our 25th anniversary by sharing your pictures and stories with us!
PfP turned 25 this year, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Since 1995, Partnerships for Parks has been working side-by-side with communities across New York City to sustain local parks and green spaces. To celebrate, share your memories of the work you’ve done in your park with us by submitting a photo and story using the hashtag #wearepfp or email pfp25@cityparksfoundation.orgWe’ll feature one of our favorite submissions each month on all our social media platforms. See guidelines below.

#wearepfp is a campaign to collect and share photographs and stories from the communities across New York City who’ve been working with Partnerships for Parks to sustain neighborhood parks and green spaces since 1995. In the wake of the financial crisis and resulting disinvestment that had plagued New York City in the 70s and 80s, communities worked to reclaim their hard-hit parks, transforming them into thriving public spaces.


In 1995, Partnerships for Parks was founded to support this work and grow this movement. For our 25th anniversary year, we invite you to share your photos and stories with us from past to present. We will feature one of our favorite submissions each month on all our social media platforms. Submit your photo and story on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter using #wearepfp or email pfp25@cityparksfoundation.org
