This dataset captures all water features within NYC Parks. It combines the State’s hydrography layer with known water fountains. Made for cartographic purposes, the attribute data isn’t as maintained as the geometry.

Waterfront Public Access Areas (WPAAs) are privately owned waterfront zoning lots where publicly accessible open space is provided to and along the shoreline for public enjoyment, as shown on the Waterfront Access Map (WAM).

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 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

This dataset provides key performance indicators for several agencies disaggregated by community district, police precinct, borough or school district. Each line of data indicates the relevant agency, the indicator, the type of geographic subunit and number, and full fiscal year data points. This data is submitted by the relevant agency to the Mayor’s Office of Operations on an annual basis and is available on Operations’ website.
