New York City’s parks may be on the verge of a major staffing shortage, local advocates and city officials are warning, as federally funded positions expire and Mayor Eric Adams prepares to cut overall spending on local green spaces.s hired to beautify parks through a one-time infusion of federal stimulus funds.
“The net loss of over 1,000 positions compared to last year is a real short-term problem,” said Adam Ganser, the head of New Yorkers for Parks. “It’s hard to imagine the parks department is going to bring in and absorb the number of people that would be required to keep our parks in good condition.” But the looming loss of workers has only intensified calls for Adams to follow through on a campaign promise to nearly double funding in the city’s parks.
