We recently came upon the website, City Parks Foundation and wanted to encourage all of our readers to look at this site. The City Parks Foundation is the only independent, nonprofit organization to offer programming in parks throughout the five boroughs of New
York City.

Founded in 1989, it supports the vast majority of New York City parks who are without access to private resources. The City Parks Foundation encouages community development within the 700 public parks found throughout the five boroughs. They help to revitalize not only parks but also the neighborhoods that surround
them.

The City Parks Foundation programs and community-building initiatives now reach more than 600,000 New Yorkers each year, contributing to the renewal of neighborhoods throughout New York City with a particular focus on some of the city’s most underserved areas. In all of its programming and activities, City Parks Foundation
partners with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to improve neighborhood parks and the communities they serve. Partnerships for Parks is a joint program of City Parks Foundation and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation that works to spur greater community support
for and involvement in the City’s neighborhood parks.

All of their sports programs bring expert instruction in tennis, golf and track & field into public parks citywide, free of charge. The Foundation is a main part of the building of the CityParks Junior Golf Center, which is currently being built adjacent to Dyker Beach Golf Course in Brooklyn.

The Foundation is also looking for any donations of golf clubs - if you have any spare clubs in your garage or closet, we encourage you to contact the Foundation to make arrangements for donating them.
