Kew Garden Hills, Queens, NYC

New York has 2,053 parks listed, and the contact figures look nothing like the rest of the directory: 947 have a phone number and 1,235 have a website. Most green space does not answer a phone, so an address and a ZIP are usually the whole useful record here.

The spread is genuinely citywide. ZIP 11201 has 34 entries; 10024 has 27; 11368 has 26; 10002 has 21. Field permits, dog-run rules and seasonal closures are not tracked on these pages, so use the website link where one exists before planning around a space. Anything marked Sponsored is a paid placement and says so on the row. Whoever runs a listed space, a conservancy or a private garden included, can claim the listing and correct what it shows.
