City Parks Foundation

Running community park activities, youth sports, and public arts across New York City parks. The programs draw real interest: one child made the tennis Lacoste tryouts, another was eager for a Bronx track meet. But families describe a frustrating lack of follow-through. After a selection, document reviews go unanswered despite numerous calls and emails. A track meet's first day saw parents and kids wait an hour and a half before leaving, with no notice. Mixed reviews highlight a pattern of poor communication and unmet expectations.
