Join Cheryl Huber, deputy director, from the independent advocacy group, New Yorkers for Parks, who will discuss the ways in which to raise awareness about the importance of community parks and creating a greener, safer neighborhood. Topics will range from improving the level of park maintenance to creating adequate recreational facilities, with a special emphasis on advocating for historic parks, which serve as important neighborhood anchors. With the current fiscal crisis, parks budgets across the city are in danger so please join us and learn more about how to preserve your local park!
