This shapefile is the dataset that underlies the historic MillionTreesNYC Adopt-a-Tree web mapping application. For up to date stewardship data see https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/NYC-Street-Tree-Map-Stewardship-Activity/rnnj-5mmi.

The polygons in this dataset show mapped forest restoration planting polygons. These polygons depict areas where invasive plants were removed and native trees and/or shrubs were planted under the purview of NYC Parks? Natural Resources Group as part of the MillionTreesNYC initiative on property under the jurisdiction of NYC Parks. Spring plantings occur between January 1 and June 30, while Fall plantings occur between July 1 and December 31 of any year. Older restoration polygons were mapped via heads-up digitizing while the location of newer polygons have been collected using a high-accuracy GPS device.

This dataset contains GPS coordinates for each ice ladder NYC Parks places around lakes and ponds. These ladders are intended for rescuing anyone who falls through the ice of a lake or pond during winter. Each record is an ice ladder location. Some locations have multiple ice ladders, which is shown in the LADDER_COUNT field. This dataset is updated annually before winter so maps can be included in borough snow manuals.

Blockface data from the TreesCount! 2015 Street Tree Census, conducted by volunteers and staff organized by NYC Parks & Recreation and partner organizations. Blockface data includes tree counts and data collection status by block. Accompanying street tree data is available, indicating tree-level details such as tree species, size and other characteristics.

This dataset corresponds to a current availability of plant species in various containers being offered to clients of the Greenbelt Native Plant Center. Each line of data represents one instance of a particular plant species in a specific container size within the dataset. Data is generated using groware software application to export to an excel document. Data is updated ad hoc, depending on production and distribution needs (sometimes multiple times daily, other times 1xweekly or bi-weekly, for example). Data has not been geocoded, anonymized, etc to the best of my knowledge. The dataset changes to include new species that are grown and were not prevously distributed by GNPC. The dataset also has entries removed over time, as species are no longer grown. All fields are required.

This data tracks the blocks that have been planted through NYC Parks’ street tree block planting program, a major component of the MillionTreesNYC initiative. When a block planting is completed for specific street segment, all available and appropriate locations for street tree installation have been planted. This dataset is based on the Citywide Street Centerline data.

The Walk to a Park initiative focuses on increasing access to parks and open spaces, concentrating on areas of the city that are under-resourced and where residents are living further than a walk to a park. NYC Parks calculates the number of New Yorkers within walking distance of a park and reports on this as part of the Mayor’s Management Report. “Walking distance” is defined as a 1/4-mile or less for sites such as small playgrounds and sitting areas; or a 1/2-mile or less for larger parks that serve a wider region, typically over 8 acres or situated on the waterfront. Certain properties in NYC Parks' portfolio, such as cemeteries, community gardens, or sites with no recreational equipment were not included in this analysis. Similarly, some parks and open-space amenities not under the jurisdiction of NYC Parks were included in this analysis, as they provide recreational value.

This dataset includes two ESRI shapefiles of access points, one for sites that get a 1/4-mile buffer and one for sites that get a 1/2-mile buffer. It also includes an ESRI shapefile of the combined polygon that is the output of this analysis. This polygon represents the total area within walking distance of a park. To generate the number of New Yorkers within that distance, the polygon is compared with data from the U.S. Census.

This information is only current as of the publication date. For more information about this analysis and the Walk to a Park Initiative, visit: https://www.nycgovparks.org/planning-and-building/planning/walk-to-a-park
