Your Guide to the Best June Events in NYC Parks
You don't have to "do" anything to enjoy virtually any one of New York City's more than 1,700 public parks, stretching out over 28,000 acres across the five boroughs (and that doesn't include the 18 miles of public beaches!). Today's NYC Parks are in better shape, with more community activity than they've ever been.
