Mamdani Urged to Boost Park Funding, End Hiring Freeze
Update: 2025-12-15
Description
New York City park advocates urge Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to prioritize parks in his first budget, aiming for a one percent allocation. Groups like New Yorkers for Parks and Play Fair for Parks Coalition plan to release a policy proposal, seeking immediate increases and a clear path to reach the one percent goal. Mamdanis predecessor, Mayor Adams, failed to deliver on a similar pledge, leading to job cuts and maintenance issues. The new mayor is expected to address these concerns and demonstrate parks importance as vital infrastructure.
